Overkill (album)
''Overkill'' is the second album by Motörhead, released in 1979. It was their first for Bronze Records, and peaked at #24 on the UK charts. The album had a big impact in the British punk culture of that time, paving the way for UK82. ''Kerrang!'' magazine listed the album at #46 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".
==Background==
Bronze Records signed Motörhead in 1978 and gave them time in Wessex Studios in London to record Richard Berry's ''Louie Louie'' and a new song by the band, ''Tear Ya Down''. The band toured to promote the single ''Louie Louie'', which became a modest hit, while Chiswick released the ''Motörhead'' album in white vinyl, to keep the momentum going. In the ''Classic Albums'' documentary on the making of ''Ace of Spades'', Gerry Bron of Bronze Records admits, "The first time I heard Motörhead was when I listened to a single that I put out without hearing, which is ''Louie Louie'', and when I heard it I was absolutely horrified. I thought it was the worst record I've ever heard, so it was a bit of a shock. The bigger shock was, having put out a record I thought was terrible, it went straight into the charts at #72. But I actually put the record out as a favor". Sales of the single brought the band their first appearance on BBC Television's ''Top of the Pops'', which gave Bronze the confidence to get the band back into the studio to record a second album. In the 2011 book ''Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead'', biographer Joel McIver quotes guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke: "We had so many false starts and disappointments by the time ''Overkill'' came around in 1978 we had stored up a lot of energy and ideas – and we were just waiting for the opportunity to show what we could do. Also we had a great following, and we always felt we owed the fans who had been with us from the beginning". Speaking to James McNair of ''Mojo'' in 2011, vocalist and bassist Lemmy concurred, "by the time of ''Overkill'' we were getting our sound together".
