The Starvations - Breakin’ my Black Heart

There's nothing like when a great song you've never heard before makes it into your adolescent tape deck. I was probably around 16 when Alan popped in a mix cassette that first exposed me to The Starvations. Something in the raw sincerity of the vocals or that haunted roots-guitar line reached out and summed up everything I was looking for, everything I was feeling under the Laguna Canyon moon. I tracked down the seven-inch and proceeded to record it onto nearly every mixtape I've made since. Ten plus years later I can still listen to "Breakin' my Black Heart" and say to myself, my God, that's a beautiful song.

Luckily, The Starvations were something of a local band and through friends of friends I was able to keep up with their releases for a good while. (I even got a chance to ‘stick it to the man’ by printing the covers of their split seven-inch with Throwrag on the sly at work.) And though this song comes from their debut seven-inch, their entire 100-song body of work is worthy of attention. I counted it as a near personal victory when the band signed to GSL and cherished this debut seven inch even more.

The Starvations played their final show December 15, 2005 and Patrick and I were able to attend one of their last shows knowing the end was near. They no longer played "Breakin' my Black Heart," in fact, I never got to see them play it live, I suppose I didn't turn 21 soon enough. But they did supply their patented soul clenching fury of timeless punk tinged with blues that seems to still be echoing off the walls of suburban emptiness.

Chris Ziegler sums up the 11 year run of The Starvations far better than I could. (OC Weekly)

Singer/Songwriter Gabriel Hart has a new project which is not his ‘post-Starvations solo project,’ called Gabriel Hart and His Upset Black Guitar.

    i discovered The Starvations were my favorite band too
    late to acquire this single, the clementine single and that split w/ Throw Rag (bloodshot eyes)..
    I'm sure they're lost to the ages, but if anyone ever feels the need to post these singels, i'd be one grateful starvations fan.
