Flesh Eaters, also known as Disintegration Nation[1] after the title of its opening track, is the four-song debut EP by American rock band the Flesh Eaters.

Background

At the beginning of 1978,[2][3] just a few months after being formed, the Flesh Eaters, in an early lineup composed of their founder, the singer and songwriter Chris Desjardins

(pka Chris D.), guitarist Tito Larriva,[2][3] bassist John Richey, and drummer Joe Nanini, went into a studio for their first time, with Randy Stodola of the Alley Cats as producer and engineer, to record early versions of the songs "Disintegration Nation", "Agony Shorthand", and "Twisted Road",[2][3] which, as they were supposed to be demos only,[3] remained unreleased until 2004, when they were featured as bonus tracks on the CD reissue[4][5][6] of No Questions Asked,[2] the band's first full-length album originally released in 1980.[7][8]

Shortly after, still in 1978, Chris D. would come back to Stodola's studio for a second session, this time backed by the members of the pioneering punk rock band the Flyboys,[9][1][10][11] to record what would be the debut release of his band.[12]

Production and release

The Flesh Eaters EP, produced and engineered by Randy Stodola at Alleycat House, his four-track home studio,[12] was released in 1978 on Upsetter Records, in 7-inch vinyl disc format.{{refn|group=nb|Upsetter #UPSET 8}}[13]

Critical reception

In his biography of the Flesh Eaters for Perfect Sound Forever, Jay Hinman said that:

{{Quote|"... [The Flesh Eaters EP], with just a hint of the ferocity of the LPs to come, is full of jagged, blazing glory, with a touch of rockabilly adulation and an up-front, slashing guitar sound that laid down a subsequent trademark."[1]}}

Trouser Press, for its part, commented:

{{Quote|"... to record the first Flesh Eaters EP", "[Chris] Desjardins ... borrowed an existing band – LA's flower-punk Flyboys —". "'Twas a wise choice: the trebly, hyperkinetic playing matches him lunge for lunge on four breathless numbers, including the well-beyond-Costello conflagration "Radio Dies Screaming.""[11]}}

}}Disintegration Nation is an archival 7-inch EP featuring, for the first time on vinyl,[3] and as a stand-alone release, the first studio recordings by the Flesh Eaters. It consists of demo versions[3] of the songs "Disintegration Nation", "Agony Shorthand", and "Twisted Road",[2][3] recorded at the beginning of 1978,[2][3] just a few months after the band was formed, at the four-track home studio of Randy Stodola, who produced and engineered the session, with Chris D. on vocals, Tito Larriva on guitar,[2][3] John Richey on Bass, and Joe Nanini on drums. The three songs would be re-recorded soon after, with revamped lineup, for the band's 1978 self-titled debut EP.[12]

The Flesh Eaters's first ever studio session was first released in 2004, as bonus tracks, on the CD reissue[4][5][6] of No Questions Asked,[2] the band's 1980 first studio album.[7][8]

The Disintegration Nation EP was released on July 15, 2011, on TKO Records,{{refn|group=nb|TKO #Round 183}}[3][14] as a limited edition of 500 copies,[3] featuring cover art by Chris D.[3]
