FACTS
The second The Starve EP, released in the same year as the first EP (2001). On this record, the band moved from no-fi to lo-fi sound quality and re-recorded two songs from the first release. The version of Saturday Night that lingers on the band's old Myspace page is presumably from this EP. As with the first EP, this record was reviewed on Allmusic Guide. The text of the review was positive, but the starred rating was only 2.5/5, a score as inexplicable as Allmusic reviewing a self-released EP in 2001 in the first place.

QUOTES
"In short, this is another quality dose of high-octane, low-budget rock & roll from a band who obviously knows how, and in a world where the Strokes, the Hives, and the White Stripes can become potential superstars, the Starve at least deserve a late-model tour van, a deal with a decent indie label, and a supply of PBR that never runs dry." - Allmusic Guide
