Poison Idea (sometimes referred to simply as ?PI?) was a hardcore punk band
from Portland, Oregon.
History 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). Inspired by Black Flag and
other early Southern California hardcore acts, they were further
influenced by Discharge and Los Angeles's the Germs. Germs singer Darby
Crash's influence on singer Jerry A.?vocally, lyrically, and
philosophically?was monumental, and Poison Idea followed the Germs?
extremist punk ethic. Tense, who previously had played with Jerry in a
group called the Stand, was replaced within a year by Tom "Pig Champion"
Roberts (guitar), formerly of the Imperialist Pigs.
PI?s classic debut, 1983's Pick Your King EP was a short, lo-fi blast of
hardcore fury. The jacket featured a "choice" of two kings, Jesus (front
cover) and Elvis
