Poison Idea Record Collectors Are Still Pretentious Assholes LP is the legendary sequel to the Portland Oregon hardcore punk band's classic 1984 EP Record Collectors Are Pretentious Assholes. This Poison Idea LP continues the band's satirical jab at the punk record collector scene the band was famously contemptuous of - even as collectors obsessively hunted down their own releases. Classic late-era Poison Idea material with vocalist Jerry A leading the band through their signature heavy uncompromising US hardcore approach. Poison Idea formed in Portland in 1980 and stand as one of THE most influential American hardcore bands ever - their brutal, fast, uncompromising US hardcore with a uniquely heavy/rocking edge influenced an entire generation of bands. Essential listening for fans of US hardcore, Portland punk, classic American HC, and the foundational US hardcore underground alongside Black Flag, Discharge, GBH, and Negative Approach.
