Rock Starve is The Bags' debut album, released in 1987 by Restless Records.[2][3]

Though preceded by early releases of "Try It" and "Egg" — songs found on the multiple-artist compilation, Crawling from Within — the album features re-recorded versions.

Critical reception

[edit]

Billboard recommended the album, writing that the band "mashes up a more than acceptable brand of home-brewed thrash on its palpitating debut disk."[1] Trouser Press wrote that "the Bags demonstrate a singular ability to analyze and describe relationships and emotions with searing but subtle simplicity ... The album doesn’t contain a bad tune."[4]
