Poison Idea - Tribute To G.I.S.M. 7"

TKO Records Japan's Hardcore Punk pioneers G.I.S.M. were a band whose influence reached the remotest corners of underground music the world over, shaping the look, sound, and approach of generations of Punk, Hardcore, Metal, and other extreme music acts for the last 40 years.Chief among their early Western champions was America’s own Hardcore Punk trailblazers, POISON IDEA. If the Metal/Punk sound of POISON IDEA's mid-to-late era recordings wasn’t evidence enough of this influence, look no further than the G.I.S.M. logo proudly adorning Jerry A’s leather vest on the back of 1987's War All The Time.Upon learning of G.I.S.M.’s visionary frontman and creative architect Sakevi Yokoyama’s death on August 24th, 2023, POISON IDEA and TKO felt compelled to honor the monumental legacy left in the wake of this loss, and we are now proud to present the result with POISON IDEA's Tribute To G.I.S.M. 7” EP.Collecting both G.I.S.M. covers from P.I.'s 1993 We Must Burn sessions for the first time ever
