There is a <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Bags_(1985)\" target=\"_blank\">great review excerpt<\/a> of <em>Rock Starve<\/em> from Playboy at Wikipedia. This is the only Bags record I have, but I also have a record by them under the name Swamp Oaf. I got this one as a promo and it included something like a media kit, really just a copy of a few articles about the band.<\/p>\n<p>I never got to see The Bags live but I&#8217;m sure they tear the roof off at every show. The good news is, despite some extended breaks, the band still exists. I just came across <a href=\"http:\/\/www.myspace.com\/thebagsofficial\" target=\"_blank\">their page<\/a> at MySpace. Lyrically, they seem to have moved more in the direction of Spinal Tap and I can&#8217;t say I like the new songs quite as much as the now 20 years old <em>Rock Starve<\/em>, but they&#8217;re still rocking it. I like all of the songs on this record but my favorite is &#8220;Spread It Around.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>I&#8217;m gonna pass it on to strangers<br \/>\nAnd give it to my friends<br \/>\nLay low for a little while<br \/>\nUntil it comes my way again<br \/>\nWhy-y-y-y-y-y should I keep it to myself<br \/>\nWhen I could be sharing it with someone else<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Spread It Around&#8221; &#8212; The Bags<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/imheavyduty.heavydutyincorporated.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/bagsrockstarve.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-546\" title=\"The Bags -- Rock Starve\" src=\"http:\/\/imheavyduty.heavydutyincorporated.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2008\/04\/bagsrockstarve.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"1300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist: The Bags Title: Rock Starve Year: 1987 Format: Vinyl 12 in.
