Poison Idea :

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
