\"The<\/dt>\n
The Bags – Rock Starve (Restless 2233-1, 1987)<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Now this is different as this is not my normal piece of cake and this record made it into my collection in 1987 based upon other considerations like it was on Restless (who put some good stuff out), it was from Boston (where many many great bands came from, even back then eg. Gang Green, The Freeze etc etc) and it had a unique sound. Wasn’t realy US H\/C but did catch the ear. They ventured on to become a decent hardrock band and disbanded eventually. And they left a song behind that is one of greatest tunes of that period: “Love Sick Diane”.<\/p>\n

The verdict:<\/p>\n

1977 \u2013 nope, “post punk hard rock” (aka slow songs can be great songs)
\n<\/em>published by a cool lable \u2013 Restless \u00a0(subsidiary of Enigma) wasn’t particularly cool but released some key US stuff. Later got sold over and over and went down.<\/em>
\nfound in a cool shop \u2013 not sure, could have been Michelle Records in Hamburg.
\n<\/em>catching sound \u2013 heavy-duty with thrust and soley carried by the great vocals!\u00a0Quote: “The Bags fall somewhere among the Ramones, H\u00fcsker D\u00fc, and early KISS” – no further definition required!<\/em>
\n<\/em>The lyrics \u2013 mmhhhh – great build up to the unique “nananana” (and frank i’d like to know who Diane was – seldom a “fuck off” was worded that cool)<\/em><\/p>\n
