Starvation
#1 Starvation was a hardcore punk band from Požega, Croatia, active trough the 2000's, they participated in the cult "Crust is dead" 4-way split tape with Dislike, Fight Back and Apatdridi. they also played a large number of shows #2 Starvation is some of the bleakest music to come from the US East Coast in recent times. Maybe it's being surrounded constantly by drooling yuppies or self-conscious, ironic hipsters that created the need for Starvation. Whatever it is, there's something in the air in Connecticut that makes all this doom and gloom as natural as taking a big honking dump.
