Their next, most acclaimed album "A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die", featured a veritable supergroup of LA scene musicians, with vocalist Chris Desjardins joined by Dave Alvin (The Blasters) on guitar, John Doe (X) playing bass, Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) on saxophone, with DJ Bonebrake (X) and Bill Bateman (The Blasters) sharing percussion duties. In his review on Allmusic, Patrick Kennedy states, “A classic album of trashy-noir darkness, seamy Hollywood dreck, campy blues horror, and Stax-influenced, stripped-down guitar punk, ... "A Minute to Pray, a Second to Die" truly delivers what it promises: simple, direct, roots-flavored early L.A. punk.”
