Poison Idea was an American punk rock band formed in Portland, Oregon, in 1980.

History [edit]

Formation, 1980s, and 1990s [edit]

Poison Idea was formed in 1980 by vocalist Jerry A. (aka Jerry Lang). The initial lineup consisted of Jerry A., Chris Tense (guitar), Glen Estes (bass), and Dean Johnson (drums).^[3] Inspired past Black Flag and other early on Southern California hardcore acts, they were further influenced by Discharge and Los Angeles's Germs. Germs singer Darby Crash's influence on singer Jerry A., vocally, lyrically, and philosophically, was considerable, and Toxicant Thought followed the Germs' extremist punk ethic. Tense, who previously had played with Jerry in a group chosen the Stand up, was replaced within a yr by Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts (guitar), formerly of the Imperialist Pigs.

Poisonous substance Idea'south debut, 1983's Selection Your Male monarch EP, was a short, lo-fi blast of hardcore fury. The jacket featured a "choice" of two kings, Jesus (front cover) and Elvis Presley (dorsum encompass).^[3]

In 1984, Chris Tense returned to the band, this time on bass, replacing Glen Estes (afterwards of Portland, Oregon punk/metal ring Terminal Alarm), and the group released the Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes 12" (the encompass features Pig Champion's substantial vinyl collection). The record constitute the band incorporating subtle stone elements into their music, which was farther honed on their contributions to two 1985 compilations, "Laughing Boy" on the Drinking is Great EP (on which appeared other Oregon punk bands Concluding Warning, Lockjaw and Eastward-thirteen), and "Typical" and "Die on Your Knees" on the Cleanse the Bacteria LP (compiled by Pushead for his own Pusmort label).

With the release of 1986's Kings of Punk LP,^[three] Poison Idea had fully moved beyond the breakneck hardcore of their early on records to a potent, driving and ultimately more intricate and sophisticated hardcore/hard rock fusion that incorporated the accessibility of difficult rock without sacrificing the power of hardcore.

Following the release of Kings of Punk, the band went through several rapid lineup changes (mostly in the rhythm section), and then added lead guitarist Eric "Vegetable" Olson, a gifted musician who wrote many Poisonous substance Idea tunes during his tenure in the ring (fifty-fifty contributing a piano vamp on one track). The ring then released War All the Fourth dimension ^[3] (named for the Charles Bukowski volume) in 1987. War All the Time and the EPs that followed (the Getting the Fear 12" and the Filthkick vii") found them farther developing the stone/hardcore sound offset established on Kings of Punk, which they would hone in 1990 with Feel the Darkness.

Around this fourth dimension, after numerous lineup changes, Poison Idea had convened one of their more stable lineups in Jerry A., Tom "Pig Champion" Roberts, Charley "Myrtle Tickner" Nims (bass) and Steve "Thee Slayer Hippy" Hanford (drums), with Kid Cocksman and and so Aldine Strichnine on second guitar. Past this fourth dimension, their drinking habits and hard living were outset to catch upward with them: the band weighed in at about ane,300 lb. collectively, and Pig Champion in particular was very fat, oft having to play sitting downwards.^[4] They also established their own tape characterization in 1989, American Leather (named for the Germs song), and released two records the same year: a reissue of their 1982 demo Darby Crash Rides Again and the Discontent 7".

In 1990, the band released Feel the Darkness.^[3] After the album'south release, Aldine Strychnine was thrown out of the band, and Mondo returned this fourth dimension on guitar, for the 1991 tour. Toxicant Idea and so released Blank Blackout Vacant in 1992, and, before seemingly splitting in 1993, they released Nosotros Must Burn.^[iii]

Reformation and recent events [edit]

On October half dozen, 2008, Portland police force arrested Steve "Thee Slayer Hippy" Hanford, 39, in connexion with a cord of chemist's shop robberies in tardily summer.^{[5] [vi]}

All the original members except for Jerry A have been replaced in the two years leading up to October 2013 and Eric the "Vegetable" who has been absent-minded since 1989 was brought back on board.^[seven]

After a 19 month absence, the band returned for one show on July 21, 2018, at the Bossanova Ballroom in Portland, Oregon. It was in celebration of the release of Feel the Darkness 28 years prior. A remixed and remastered album including B-sides, outtakes, alternate mixes, plus Live in London, has been re-issued by American Leather / TKO Records.
