Confuse & Conquer, the mammoth new full-length studio LP from Portland, Oregon’s reigning kings of punk, POISON IDEA, is today officially available worldwide via Southern Lord Recordings, and is now available for streaming in its entirety.
Setting everything in its path ablaze with the nonstop energetic pummeling punk assault the band has assaulted the planet with for three-and-a-half decades, and by incorporating the use of epic piano segues, the album is an instant classic for all POISON IDEA fans as well as one of the most undeniably important releases in the punk/hardcore realms this year. The band’s first new album since 2006’s Latest Will And Testament, and first since the passing of their great friend and guitarist, the iconic Tom “Pig Champion” Roberts, Confuse & Conquer boasts thirty-five minutes of thundering, infectious rage recorded in the band’s hometown by Joel Grind (Toxic Holocaust) and mastered by Brad Boatright (From Ashes Rise) at Audiosiege, and proves that absolutely nothing can stop this legendary act and all attempts are a futile waste of time.
Confuse & Conquer LP is out now on Southern Lord, available on colored 12″ vinyl and CD including shirt and vinyl bundles HERE, and the album streaming in full and available for digital purchase HERE.
POISON IDEA will begin their crushing month-long European tour in support of Confuse & Conquer in less than two weeks, followed by stateside touring including a hometown record release show on May 23rd, and a two-week June run through the West Coast US, Mexico and Texas in June. A second European tour is being booked for later in the Summer, which will be followed by an East Coast tour in September.
