Flesh Eaters, The
A Minute To Pray A Second To Die (red)
Jackpot Records is proud to re-reissue what many call arguably the greatest album of the punk rock era: The Flesh Eaters
1981 punk-noir masterpiece, A Minute To Pray A Second To Die. Once referred to as an all-star roots/voodoo combo, The
Flesh Eaters could only have crawled out of the myst of the late L.A. 70s punk scene. Fronted by punk poet/composer
Chris D. (Desjardins), the band was a satellite for exquisite collaborators that allowed him to bring the full force of
his dark, messed-up lyrical nightmares. Members of X, Wall Of Voodoo, Los Lobos, The Blasters, and The Plugz all hopped
into his unmarked car to take a drive with Chris D. Its grabbed-by-the-throat vocals are powerfully buoyed by the tight
melodicism emanating from the players on this record (John Doe and DJ Bonebrake from X, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, Dave
Alvin & Bill Bateman of The Blasters). Hell, we even get the perfectly executed John Doe original, "Cyrano de Bergers
Back," which was re-recorded by X in 1987. The creators of this record made a pulp novel for your ears with an equal
chance to scar your heart. Do not miss out-this is punk noir at its greatest.
