FACTS
Released in a very DIY fashion, in packaging made from re-used beer cases, this debut six-track EP appears to have been the first release from The Starve, a pre-Pains band from Potland, with Kip on guitar and vocals. The 16-minute CD managed to earn a review from Allmusic, which is the main reminder that it ever existed - it's not for sale digitally, and the CD is rare. Pretty Lines can be heard on The Starve's Mypsace page, along with a version of Saturday Night which may be a re-recording from the band's follow-up EP.
QUOTES
"There are thousands of bands that do what the Starve do on this EP, but no more than a handful manage to do it quite so well; it's smart, fun, street-level rock & roll from five kids with great ideas and the will to put 'em on plastic, and when THAT stops being the future of rock & roll, we're all in a lot of trouble." - Allmusic Guide
