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

History [edit]

Germination, 1980s, and 1990s [edit]

Poison Idea was formed in 1980 by singer 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 Southern California hardcore acts, they were further influenced past Discharge and Los Angeles's Germs. Germs vocalizer Darby Crash'southward influence on singer Jerry A., vocally, lyrically, and philosophically, was considerable, and Poison Thought followed the Germs' extremist punk ethic. Tense, who previously had played with Jerry in a group chosen the Stand up, was replaced inside a twelvemonth by Tom "Grunter Champion" Roberts (guitar), formerly of the Imperialist Pigs.

Poison Idea's debut, 1983'south Pick Your Rex EP, was a short, lo-fi boom of hardcore fury. The jacket featured a "choice" of two kings, Jesus (front cover) and Elvis Presley (back cover).^[3]

In 1984, Chris Tense returned to the band, this fourth dimension on bass, replacing Glen Estes (later of Portland, Oregon punk/metal band Final Alarm), and the group released the Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes 12" (the cover features Pig Champion'south substantial vinyl drove). The record found the band incorporating subtle stone elements into their music, which was further honed on their contributions to two 1985 compilations, "Laughing Boy" on the Drinking is Corking EP (on which appeared other Oregon punk bands Last Warning, Lockjaw and Due east-13), and "Typical" and "Die on Your Knees" on the Cleanse the Leaner LP (compiled past Pushead for his own Pusmort characterization).

With the release of 1986'due south Kings of Punk LP,^[3] Poisonous substance Thought had fully moved across the breakneck hardcore of their early records to a potent, driving and ultimately more than intricate and sophisticated hardcore/hard rock fusion that incorporated the accessibility of hard stone 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 and so added lead guitarist Eric "Vegetable" Olson, a gifted musician who wrote many Poison Thought tunes during his tenure in the band (even contributing a piano vamp on ane track). The ring then released War All the Time ^[3] (named for the Charles Bukowski book) in 1987. State of war All the Time and the EPs that followed (the Getting the Fear 12" and the Filthkick seven") found them further developing the stone/hardcore sound first established on Kings of Punk, which they would hone in 1990 with Feel the Darkness.

Around this time, after numerous lineup changes, Poison Idea had convened one of their more than stable lineups in Jerry A., Tom "Sus scrofa Champion" Roberts, Charley "Myrtle Tickner" Nims (bass) and Steve "Thee Slayer Hippy" Hanford (drums), with Kid Cocksman and and then Aldine Strichnine on 2d guitar. By this time, their drinking habits and hard living were beginning to catch upwardly with them: the band weighed in at nigh 1,300 lb. collectively, and Pig Champion in particular was very fat, often having to play sitting down.^[iv] They also established their ain record label in 1989, American Leather (named for the Germs song), and released two records the aforementioned year: a reissue of their 1982 demo Darby Crash Rides Again and the Discontent vii".

In 1990, the band released Feel the Darkness.^[3] After the album'due south release, Aldine Strychnine was thrown out of the ring, and Mondo returned this time on guitar, for the 1991 bout. Poison Idea and so released Blank Blackout Vacant in 1992, and, before seemingly splitting in 1993, they released We Must Burn.^[3]
