Poison Idea have announced the upcoming release of a new live album. Titled Young Lords, the new album from the American hardcore punk legends features the first known recording of the band from back in 1982, and is scheduled to be released in May this year via American Leather Records.

Speaking about the album, vocalist Jerry A. Lang comments, “1982. We played for about a year and a half. We booked shows ourselves playing small gigs, open mics, house parties. This was the first club show we’d played. We booked the shows ourselves. We got THE FARTZ from Seattle to come down and headline it. It was basically the beginning of our career. We were all 18 years old. Except Tom. All fast, short punk-rock songs. We sang about what 18-year-old kids sing about.”

He adds, “We did a couple covers. JFA song. And STATE OF ALERT, Henry Rollins’ first band. We played songs of the bands we enjoyed. So we’d do BLACK FLAG, CIRCLE JERKS… It was our first show into the business. Before that, we were just the garage band. After that, we didn’t stop and just kept playing.”
