The Flesh Eaters, “I Used To Be Pretty” (Yep Roc)- The adrenalin fuelled heyday of punk may now seem like little more than a distant memory in an era increasingly dominated by bland corporate pop but seminal LA rockers The Flesh Eaters are doing their best to keep the spirit of those far off days alive via splendid albums such as this.Vocalist and creative mainstay Chris Desjardins is aided and abetted here by top notch sidemen such as guitarist Dave Alvin and saxist Steve Berlin as he serves up compelling offerings such as “Black Temptation,” Fleetwood Mac’s “The Green Manalishi ” and the epic 13 minute long closer,”Ghost Cave Lament,” which was apparently inspired by an extended instrumental piece from legendary flamenco guitarist Manitas de Plata.
