The Hunger began simply enough. Like any other band, there was a garage, a few friends and some heroes: Ministry, Front 242, and The Cure. Little did the kids know that these casual gatherings would grow into a passion that would consume their rest of their lives. The seeds of creativity and self expression would quickly begin to blossom into songs and the songs demanded to be heard. Two 12” singles later and virtually overnight, The Hunger had made their first mark on the world: sold-out copies, Billboard charting and a record deal. This first taste of success through their own efforts would become their creed; that which drives The Hunger to rise above without surrender.
With the release of LEAVE ME ALONE, their first full length CD, The Hunger got their first taste of independent labels and of the dangers of putting something as precious as a dream into the hands of other people. Though the label was history at almost the same time as the release, they continued to move forward in their career by garnering airplay, Billboard charting and sales. However, the most significant result of all these successes would turn out to be the group’s introduction to their next passion- live performance.
The music of The Hunger had found its soulmate…performance. Not just regular ol’ performance mind you, but fiery, frenzied, passionate and, most of all, intense performance. The kind of performance that comes at you off the stage like of tidal wave of power, knocking off your feet and leaving you gasping for air. The Hunger created, by way of their all-or-nothing ideology, a complete show that would stand out in the minds of the crowd.

mcclellen2020 Vanishing Cream & Undone were all over the mid 90's rock radio fm. Listening to either takes me back to then for sure. And it's not a bad trip at all !!!!

amnioticentity devil thumbs a ride was amazing, great album but bad management, they should have toured with the techno industrial elites of their days but instead they went the way of rapcore by time their 4th and final album was released...sad but true...tho, it was nice to see them on halloween in 2000(or 2001?) with the toadies, vallejo and that other band with that one good song.... why is some band from the netherlands on the same page as these guys? tx > nl

Omegasphere Vanishing Cream is a good song, but other than that they pretty much don't exist.

DjRenigade I knew these boy b4 that had an album!! I met them in college at SFA in Nacogdoches Texas from some friends of theirs that went to Highschool with them. I have partied with them for many years. What a good band, i wish that they would have made it bigger than they did.
