POISON IDEA
FEEL THE DARKNESS
LP B
HC2003

Release Date: 2000

Originally released in 1990. This LP marked the high point of Poison Idea's most stable line up. While many bands strive to combine the American Hardcore style with hard rock, only a few have done so in a fashion that was truly powerful and memorable. Poison Idea set the standard for US hardcore with power and speed driven by Jerry A's acid vocals and Pig Champions outstanding songwriting and guitar work. While much of hardcore in the 80's (and today) was driven primarily by speed and energy, many of those bands songwriting deficiencies come out when the speed drops to a mid paced rock out. Black Flag and Poison Idea are among the few that could write truly great, catchy powerful songs at a speed that was a notch or two down from full on thrash. This record was very well received when released and has been out of print on vinyl for some time. Havoc is proud to offer this legit re issue through Farewell Records of Germany for whom we have done US distribution of several other releases, such as the Tribute to Poison Idea LP Hangover Heart Attack. More Poison Idea re issues will be forthcoming as well as a new studio LP with the classic Jerry A, Pig Champion combo.
