RECORD EX / SLEEVE EX
A classic album of trashy-noir darkness, seamy Hollywood dreck, campy blues horror, and Stax-influenced,
stripped-down guitar punk, the Flesheaters' first release, A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die, truly delivers
what it promises: simple, direct, roots-flavored early L.A. punk. However, calling this a punk album is reductive at best.
Sure, it utilizes the less-is-more, low-rent attitude and musicianship, but Chris D. and crew -- and it's
an exceptional crew, featuring former Blasters Dave Alvin and Bill Bateman (accomplished roots players in their own right),
saxman Steve Berlin, who later played with Los Lobos, and John Doe and DJ Bonebrake of X -- succeed in creating
a sonic pastiche of true American music. From blues to jazz to rock to rockabilly, the Flesheaters were able
to accomplish all, and that is no more apparent in their catalog than on this debut, which captures
the fire and directness of early Sun Studios recordings...(All Music Guide)
