Description:

Poison Idea's notoriously brief, punishing debut was released in 1983, a few years after the band formed in Portland, Oregon. Thirteen songs in sixteen minutes. Obviously, not a second wasted. At this juncture, the band consisted of founder and enormous frontman Jerry A., guitarist Tom Roberts â?? later to be rechristened Pig Champion, due to his porcine build, bassist Chris Tense, and drummer Dean Johnson. Already, Jerry A. sang like a man in the middle of a heartattack, bellowing furiously, frighteningly. In other words, the template was being created for albums to follow. With Pick Your King â?? a reference to Elvis and Jesus, Poison Idea helped establish the paradigm for aggressive American hardcore punk. -

Not only the greatest Poison Idea record, but the greatest PUNK album of all time! Originally Released in 1983 Poison Idea debut record features 13 songs in 13 minutes. Poison Idea were one of the first hardcore bands to inspire artists across multiple genre lines. The first release and the start of it all. It's short but it's deadly wicked! So relevant, the kids even like it! THE START OF HARDCORE!!
