Poison Idea is a punk rock band that was formed in 1980 in Portland, Oregon. Led by vocalist Jerry A., the band quickly established a solid lineup and drew inspiration from influential bands like the Germs and Black Flag. Known for their raw and angry hardcore sound, Poison Idea pushed the boundaries of contemporary punk rock with their intense music influenced by bands such as Discharge and SOA.

Throughout their career, Poison Idea underwent several lineup changes but continued to deliver powerful music. In 1986, they released the Kings of Punk LP, showcasing a shift towards a more driving, Motorhead-influenced sound without losing any of their intensity or nihilism. Despite facing challenges with record companies and distributors, the band persevered by starting their own label called American Leather.

In 1990, Poison Idea achieved critical acclaim with the release of Feel the Darkness LP, successfully blending elements of hardcore and hard rock to create a dark and powerful sound. Over the years, they released numerous records including full-length albums, EPs, and cover collections before disbanding in 2017.

Southern Lord is a leading metal label founded by Greg Anderson and Stephen O'Malley in 1998. Known for releasing experimental, drone, and doom metal projects, they have worked with renowned bands such as Boris, Sunn o))), Earth, Weedeater, and Goatsnake. In addition to these genres, Southern Lord also releases death metal, grindcore, hardcore and punk projects.

11 raw, filthy nasty brand new tracks from the 'Kings of Punk'! Recorded by the infamous Joel Grind (from the band Toxic Holocaust). 'Confuse and Conquer' features eleven raging new anthems - the record booms with thirty-five minutes of fully ignited hardcore punk in the monolithic style the band has provided for three-and-a-half decades now. Though 'Confuse and Conquer' is the first new Poison Idea album to be released since the passing of iconic guitarist Tom 'Pig Champion' Roberts in early 2006, the loved, infectious sound delivered on the band's seminal albums including 1990's 'Feel The Darkness' and 1992's 'Blank Blackout Vacant' blazes through the entire album. Poison Idea currently includes Eric 'The Vegetable' Olsen, back on lead guitar. He was the first real lead guitarist in the band and the second player after Pig Champion, and he played on the 1987's 'War All the Time' LP and 1988-released 'Filthkick' EP. The band also welcomes the return of Chris 'Spider' Carey on bass, who played on 'Latest Will And Testament', the last recording before Pig passed. The lineup is rounded out with Brandon Bentley also joining on guitar, Nathan 'Skinny' Richardson on drums, and as always, founding vocalist Jerry A. Lang handles the hot-blooded vocal delivery.
