Rock fans will find that there was one word to describe ’08 for Simplistic Urge: perseverance. Formed in ’03, the band lineup remains: Tim Flynn- Lead Vocalist, Matty- Guitar and Backup vocalist, Michael Styrczula- Guitar and Backup Vocalist, John Haracz- Bass and Backup vocalist, Chris DiDomenico- Percussion. .. .. Even though the Chicago winter was cold, the year started off red hot, as MTV 2 featured SU as one of Chicago’s local bands in the segment “On the Rise”. A camera crew was flown out to Wall to Wall studios: the site the bands ’07 recording “Drown in Your Own Demise.” The band also returned to Illinois Suburban Nitelife’s Best of the Burbs Awards ceremony, accepting the ’07 award for Best Alternative Rock Band. SU is currently competing in the Best of the Burbs ’08 competition, defending their title, while competing in 14 musical categories. Simplistic Urge was also one of 5 Chicago local talents picked by Q101 to play the Q101 Block Party with Avenged Sevenfold, Theory of a Dead man, Sick Puppies and More. .. .. Regional touring in Wisconsin, Kansas and Ohio have been great experiences in the past couple of years, but the band’s biggest touring accomplishment came last spring, as SU played during the annual South by Southwest Music Convention ’08 in Austin, Texas.

Talks of SU and The Heroine teaming up for a ’09 West Coast tour are also in the works. .. .. As a result of ear-pounding metal, guitar flips, and solos played in the streets (literally), Captivia Records and Chris Perez have invited the SU boys back to SXSW to take over Austin.

In the band’s 5 year history, Simplistic Urge has shared the stage with other truly talented bands including Gwen Stacy, Memphis May Fire, Letter Kills, Chevelle, Collective Soul, Lucky Boys Confusion, and many more. .. .. The growth of an American rock band is truly exciting to witness, and the transformation of Simplistic Urge’s music has been no exception. In the last year, the hardcore-pop driven ’07 EP “Drown in Your Own Demise” compelled the group to build on the sound even more, breaking through and revisiting genres with more aggressive roots.
