Nothing to Fear is the second studio album by American new wave band Oingo Boingo, released in 1982 by A&M Records.

Nothing to Fear possesses a more hard-edged sound than the band's previous releases, featuring louder electric guitar and percussion, an increased and more varied use of synthesizers and the introduction of sequencers on some tracks.

[6] The single release of "Private Life" was accompanied by a music video, directed by Elfman's brother Richard, founder of the Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo.
