No Questions Asked (album)

No Questions Asked is the first studio album by Los Angeles punk rock band the Flesh Eaters, released in 1980 on Upsetter Records.

[nb 1][2][3] According to reviewer Joseph Neff from The Vinyl District: "The Flesh Eaters’ [early output was] good, but flirtations with greatness arrived on the 1980 long-player No Questions Asked, [Chris] Desjardins refining a vocal approach comparable to a wilder West Coast Richard Hell.

The sound is sharp, static bursts of punk heat, dressed up with Chris’ phantasmagoric visions of plagues, hemorrhages and rabid cops.

The sound is best represented on tracks like "Impossible Crime", "Dominoes" and "Police Gun Jitters" ... It’s worth noting that Desjardins’s tales were repeatedly inspired by B-movies (the name of the band being a prime example ...),[4] with a ghoulishness particularly heard in the lyrics of this LP.

No Questions Asked marked the end of the first wave of the Flesh Eaters, and gave birth to the all-star roots/voodoo combo of 1981’s A Minute to Pray, A Second To Die.
