Portland's Poisonous Past – Poison Idea Are Hardcore's Greatest of All Time 2013


Poison Idea are hardcore's G.O.A.T. (Greatest of All Time).

Initially known for Germs-esque blasts of pure hardcore rage, Poison Idea, by the late '80s, had cultivated a metallic polish, resembling a rougher, street-level version of Motörhead. In an era when anyone can dye their hair and buy a wallet chain, Poison Idea hearken back to the days when punk was still vital, raw, and dangerous. Perhaps it's his commitment to excellence, which recently included throwing out months worth of recordings that just weren't up to snuff, that's helped Poison Idea transcend their anti-social image, catapulting them into the Oregon Music Hall of Fame.
