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[nb 1][4][5] of No Questions Asked,[2] the band's first full-length album originally released in 1980.

[9] The Flesh Eaters EP, produced and engineered by Randy Stodola at Alleycat House, his four-track home studio,[9] was released in 1978 on Upsetter Records, in 7-inch vinyl disc format.

"[1]Trouser Press, for its part, commented: "... to record the first Flesh Eaters EP", "[Chris] Desjardins ... borrowed an existing band – LA's flower-punk Flyboys —".

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.

[10][14] In 2004, the EP, in its entirety, was included as bonus tracks, on the Atavistic Records' remastered CD reissue[nb 1][4][5] of the band's first studio album, No Questions Asked, originally released in 1980 on Upsetter.
