about

In 1990, Poison Idea released ‘Feel The Darkness’. A crossover record, a bastard child of heavy-metal and punk. Aggressive, rebellious and uncompromising. Reaching the cult-status over the years, ‘Feel The Darkness’ was a game-changer in many different ways featuring iconic-now songs ‘Alan’s On Fire’, ‘Plastic Bomb’ and ‘The Badge’. Coming out as an anti-authoritarian, anti-police anthem ‘The Badge’ immediately got recognition and resonance in punk-rock world. And getting recognition after a cover-version released by Pantera in mid 90’s.

In 2023 Poison Idea is releasing the song again with a Portland police-officer remixing his version of ‘The Badge’. The founding member of the band, Jerry A, explains the idea behind the release with one simple: “Why would ‘anti-police band’ be working with a police officer now ? You have to listen and feel this piece of art to believe it!”. The sound, the art, the manifesto that has always been very controversial. While people have always been questioning and still do.

American Leather Records is proud to present the special edition of ‘The Badge’ featuring a remix version by Portland police-officer coming out as a limited edition 7-inch vinyl. The release is coming out on Record Store Day 2023.

hardcore punk, jazz, alien themes, kind of all my jams wrapped into a tight package. Intense, freaky, lean runtime but feels dense especially being sectioned into essentially 4 parts. Easily one of the best punk records of the decade so far. Also that drumming...holy shit alienasu

I'm overwhelmed but not surprised how good this album is...every band that Jerry A. worked with on this is exceptional, and with his voice and well, his essence, every song is as good as music can possibly be. You will hear some of the most inspiring and essential music of your lifetime when you listen to anything with Jerry A's imprint on it. jeffmartintx
