Screaming Urge has been played on NTS shows including La Vida es un Mus , with Killa Poe Leese first played on 22 October 2021.

Screaming Urge is an American, mid-west punk rock band founded in 1978 by guitarist Michael Ravage in Columbus, Ohio. The band toured the U.S. and Canada several times and released a 45 “Homework b/w Runaway” in 1979 and self-titled (or untitled) LPs in 1980 and 1981, commonly referred to as the Black & White and Blue albums, all on vinyl. Screaming Urge songs have been included in many D.I.Y. punk compilations through the years, including Killed By Death #6: Greatest Punk Shits and at least a couple Hyped 2 Death volumes. The Homework 45 and to a lesser extent, both LPs have become vinyl collectors’ items selling from as much as $50 to over $100 each, in their original releases. The 45 was reissued by Sing Sing Records (NYC) in January 2012 and both albums are scheduled for reissue in October 2012 by Rave Up Records (Rome, Italy), all with worldwide (physical) distribution. Screaming Urge also released a remastered CD, “Gory Years”, of all 25 songs found on the single and both albums in July 2011. Though the band does not consider itself “active” they continue to play reunion shows.

One of the first punk bands in central Ohio, Screaming Urge produced a series of multiple-band music festivals called “Nowhere” (Nowhere ‘78, Nowhere ‘79, etc.) that continued into the early 90s, showcasing an estimated 70 to 80 bands, even though the band did not actively exist much of that time.

Screaming Urge was (is?) Michael Ravage - Guitar & Vox, Myke Rock - Bass & Vox, and Dave Manic - Drums & Vocals.
