Despite some criticism for the label switch, Urge Overkill's major-label debut, Saturation, received strong reviews upon release in 1993, and to support the album, they opened for Pearl Jam on their Vs. Having a strong following by this time, they jumped from their indie label, Touch & Go, to a major label, Geffen Records. Produced by Butch Vig, Americruiser was widely praised, and scored a college radio hit with the lead single, "Ticket to L.A."

Warmowski describes the band's approach to songwriting: "If somebody comes up with a riff or an idea, it's like a contest to see who can shoot it down fastest, who can identify it's origins the quickest. I had basically just been sitting in my room strumming around to Buzzcocks and Naked Raygun records for four years. He describes the Buzzmuscle sounds as "Pretty much guitar-as-wall and rhythm-as-tool-as an actual instrument." Dunlap recalls, "I had been playing guitar for years and never imagined that I would actually do it in public one day. Warmowski cites Naked Raygun, Big Black and the Effigies as central influences. Schleitwiler, drums-leans to the melodic, song-based side of Chicago hardcore. Formed in 1991 from former members of the Bhopal Stiffs, the Watchmen and the Defoliants, the quartet-Greg Dunlap, guitar Rob Warmowski, vocals, bass Brian Gay, guitar Admiral David A. Local heroes: The members of Buzzmuscle have a healthy sense of humor about themselves but they take their rock 'n' roll seriously.

Directing credit goes to TV Eye partners Paul Andresen and George Dougherty, who previously co-produced and directed Urge's "The Kids Are Insane" and "The Candidate" videos from the "Supersonic Storybook" album on Touch and Go. The video was shot in Miami and features the band cruising the beach in a 1972 Cadillac convertible, performing in the lobby of a decrepit Cuban hotel and skimming southern waters in a high-speed air boat. Chicago's TV Eye Film just finished shooting the video for Urge Overkill's soon-to-be-released "Sister Havana" single for Geffen Records.
