Blank Blackout Vacant by Poison Idea

Poison Idea

Blank Blackout Vacant
Tko

***REISSUED!!! When it came to the follow-up of their 1990 magnum opus Feel The Darkness, failure was not an option for POISON IDEA.Seeking a way to expand their musical horizons while still retaining their cranked-up style, UK-cum-Chicagoian producer IAIN BURGESS (Big Black, The Effigies, Naked Raygun) was brought in to assist in this audacious feat. The results—1992’s Blank Blackout Vacant—successfully showcased a meshing of Poison Idea's classically surging sound and a new found refinement: demonstrated by the brass section on tracks like the driving opener “Say Goodbye” or the chugging, Motörhead-esque “Forever and Always”.Rolling on with their relentless reissue schedule for Portland’s Kings of Punk, TKO replenishes the double-disc edition of Blank Blackout Vacant first introduced back in the maddening year of 2020. Along with the album’s original batch of thirteen tracks capped off by a thundering version of New York Dolls'’ “Vietnamese Baby”, you get a bonus LP containing a bevy of B-Sides, covers by acts as disparate as Lords Of The New Church, The Who, and Booker T. & The MGs., as well as a live on-air performance on Portland’s long-running community radio station KBOO from the Fall of 1991. Originally released at a pivotal point in the band's career, Blank Blackout Vacant remains an essential component in the understanding of the band's epic trajectory.

We Must Burn by Poison Idea

Poison Idea

We Must Burn
Tko

***In the discography of POISON IDEA, 1993’s We Must Burn is recognized as the capper on the most prolific period for Portland, Oregon’s Kings Of Punk, as well as the final album from their initial thirteen-year run. Well-seasoned and confident in their sonic skin, this album showed the musical progression the band had made while still holding on to the buzzsaw guitars of Tom “Pig Champion” Roberts, the defiant bellow of Jerry A. Lang, and the other elements that positioned them as one of the forerunning units for American Hardcore punk. Continuing with their tireless reissue campaign for Poison Idea TKO Records unleashes We Must Burn for the first time on vinyl in over thirty years, in this hefty two-record set. In addition to the original album, a second LP of bonus material is included. SIde's C and D contain WMB studio outtakes that originally saw release on the posthumous Religion & Politics 10”, plus live tracks from the 1992 “No On 9” festival. This legendary all-day event benefiting Gay Rights, at the Portland Meadows horse race track, saw Poison Idea sharing the stage with Nirvana and Helmet among others. The chance to absorb Poison Idea's scintillating and supposed swan song in the proper format is available to you once again. Act accordingly or be hung like a savior. Housed in deluxe gatefold jackets printed on foil-wrapped mirrorboard cardstock.

Kings of Punk by Poison Idea

Poison Idea

Kings of Punk
Tko

***Among the impressive discography by Portland, OR Hardcore Punk forerunners POISON IDEA, their 1986 debut LP Kings Of Punk is considered one of the most important entries. Originally released on the Pusmort label owned and operated by legendary visual artist Brian “Pushead” Schroeder (Misfits, Metallica), Kings Of Punk introduced Poison Idea to a wide audience than their previously the self-released and distributed releases on Fatal Erection, the record label co-run by their guitarist Tom “Pig Champion” Roberts. Taking full advantage of the situation, Poison Idea made sure their first full-length release would make an impact on the American Hardcore Punk scene. From the grisly, full-color cover image of the band’s name carved into the chest of vocalist Jerry A. Lang to the blistering music contained within, Kings Of Punk was convincing enough to earn Poison Idea the attention that helped spread their legend and kicked off the band's most prolific period: the late 80s - early 90s. Out-of-print since TKO’s ephemera-packed “Portland Edition” version from the summer of 2022, Kings Of Punk now returns as the third installment in TKO’s Poison Idea Remasters series. This new edition finds all eleven tracks shined up while still retaining the feral bite of the original, proving almost forty years since its release, Kings Of Punk will forever be evidence enough for Poison Idea to claim their self-appointed throne.

Feel The Darkness

***BACK IN PRINT!!! The first entry in the new POISON IDEA 2024 Remasters series. Feel The Darkness was widely hailed as an immediate classic upon its original release, and its status as one of the greatest Punk albums of all time has endured to the present day. This is evident from its regular and frequent inclusion in music press-published “Greatest Punk Albums Of All Time” lists. Among diehard P.I. fans, this album is rivaled only by Kings Of Punk as the crown jewel of of the band's discography. Painstakingly remixed and remastered by LARRY CRANE, this new version is true to the spirit of the original album, preserving its authenticity in every way possible.

Tribute to G.I.S.M. by Poison Idea

Poison Idea

Tribute to G.I.S.M.
Tko

***Japan's Hardcore Punk pioneers G.I.S.M. were a band whose influence reached the remotest corners of underground music the world over, shaping the look, sound, and approach of generations of Punk, Hardcore, Metal, and other extreme music acts for the last 40 years. Chief among their early Western champions was America’s own Hardcore Punk trailblazers, POISON IDEA. If the Metal/Punk sound of Poison Idea's mid-to-late era recordings wasn’t evidence enough of this influence, look no further than the G.I.S.M. logo proudly adorning JERRY A’s leather vest on the back of 1987's War All The Time. Upon learning of G.I.S.M.’s visionary frontman and creative architect SAKEVI YOKOYAMA's death on August 24th, 2023, Poison Idea and TKO felt compelled to honor the monumental legacy left in the wake of this loss, and we are now proud to present the result with Poison Idea's Tribute To G.I.S.M. 7” EP. Collecting both G.I.S.M. covers from P.I.'s 1993 We Must Burn sessions for the first time ever, every facet of this EP is a carefully crafted ode to the inimitable and uncompromising spirit of Sakevi and G.I.S.M. “Endless Blockades For The Pussyfooter” appears as a previously unreleased mix that differs from the version featured on We Must Burn, while “Death, Agonies & Screams” is the same version that appears on Poison Idea's posthumous Religion & Politics EP. Rounding out the track list is a newly composed noise piece by Jerry A and ANDREW STROMSTAD, “Pig Scream”, paying tribute to the avant garde sound of G.I.S.M.’s later...

Young Lords by Poison Idea

Poison Idea

Young Lords
Tko

***It’s no secret that few music scenes have ever matched the sheer animal ferocity, vitriol, and urgency on display in those first few legendary years of American Hardcore. Of that scene’s flagship groups, perhaps none better exemplify the aforementioned traits than Portland’s greatest export, POISON IDEA. As the early years of their existence have become mythologized through the passage of time, oral tradition, and fuzzy recollections, complete documents of that era are more valuable than ever. As such, TKO Records is proud to present Young Lords: Live At The Metropolis, 1982. Mixed and mastered from the original multi-track audio from their May 5th, 1982 show at The Metropolis in Portland, Oregon, Young Lords exemplifies the primal freneticism that made Poison Idea an American Hardcore institution. Replete with now-classic staples of their early catalogue, pitch perfect covers of songs by contemporaneous acts like JFA and SOA, and quintessential JERRY A. stage banter (“Our drum player’s on acid; Just leave the lights off.”), Young Lords serves as both a historical snapshot of a young band firing on all cylinders and a not so gentle reminder of that band’s enduring legacy. Delivered, as always, with due attention to detail, Young Lords is presented here in a deluxe “Pig Note” layout, including a gatefold sleeve with a bound in 12-page booklet that features previously unpublished photos and flyers, as well as an 11.5” x 23” poster insert. For either the neurotic completist or the newcomer in search of an introductory crash course to one...

Legacy Of Dysfunction: Music From The Motion Picture
American Leather

***The soundtrack LP for 2017's controversial documentary on the "Kings Of Punk." Every single member, living or dead, finally has their say, and there's plenty of lip to go around. Live & studio recordings of tracks from PI's entire 40-year history are intercut with choice dialog from the film. Sort of like a greatest hits, kinda. Newly remastered for release on TKO, delivering superior sound to previously available versions. Includes color poster.

***This month TKO is delighted to finally bring you Volume 4 of the POISON IDEA Kings Of Punk reissue series: the 10th Anniversary edition of Latest Will & Testament. This album was to be the final recordings of Poison Idea's legendary guitarist TOM "PIG CHAMPION" ROBERTS, and was originally released in Europe in early 2006, shortly after his death. This reissue is the first domestic release of this later period, lost P.I. classic. It's widely agreed among P.I. fans that the original 2006 version clearly suffered from the unfortunate circumstance under which it was released. For this edition, punk/metal crossover wunderkind JOELGRIND of Toxic Holocaust was slated with the task of remixing the album from the master tapes. The end result is the presentation that Latest Will... was always meant to have: an album that now without question earns its place among the rest of the band's powerful discography. First pressing of 1,000 copies on white vinyl.
