Poison Idea-Latest Will & Testament

Poison Idea
Latest Will & Testament LP
Farewell Records
With the recent passing of Pig Champion, I wasn’t sure if this record was going to come out. Poison Idea are back with one of their best efforts since Feel The Darkness. If you’re like me and love pretty much everything Poison Idea has done I think you are going to like this. While it is not quite another Feel The Darkness, or even We Must Burn, I think this record will fit really well on your record shelf next to those records. A few songs, especially Jihad Love, remind me a lot of Feel The Darkness, while others are somewhat like the We Must Burn era stuff.
No matter what, I think this is a great record. Think about it, how many other bands besides Poison Idea, Gauze, and a few others have been putting out consistently excellent records since the early eighties? I can name only a few others. Poison Idea never stooped to playing speed metal or pop punk, or post hardcore bar rock. If this is the end for them, I think this was a great way to go out. Poison Idea are truly the kings of punk!

RIP Pig Champion
By admin on Mar. 2, 2006.
The recent death of Poison Idea guitarist Pig Champion has hit me pretty hard. Poison Idea were playing hi-speed, brutal hardcore years before a lot of other bands caught on. Their demo, Darby Crash Rides Again, is at least a few years ahead of the curve. Pick Your King, their debut ep, is arguably the best hardcore record ever made. I can’t think of a way to dispute that. As they went on they continued to put out solid record after solid, even experimenting a little bit with melody and heaviness. They peaked with the early nineties LP Feel The Darkness, which combines the speed of the early stuff with a very “dark” tinge.
We Must Burn was actually the first punk record I owned on vinyl. I didn’t even have a record player yet; but I ordered that, a Flipper CD, and the William Burroughs/Kurt Cobain Split CD from a record distro. I was 13 probably. Whenever 8th grade was. I accidentally put down We Must Burn for vinyl (Orange!) and had to go to a friend’s house to make a tape copy of it. Whoops. I wouldn’t actually get a record player until a year or two later. Pretty cool I got to hear a Gism cover in 8th grade though.
Unlike a lot of bands, Poison Idea never did a bad record. They never changed their sound to fit what the masses thought “punk” was about that week.
The tributes have been pouring in from all over the net. Here are some of them:
A Blaze In The New Jersey Sky
Something I Learned Today
Punk Vault
7 Inch Punk
Strange Reaction
Also here is an interview Suburban Voice did with Pig + Jerry.
