Despite being happily hunkered down in their Pacific Northwest bubble, POISON IDEA continued to gain cache as the 1980s plowed along, due in no small part to the worldwide acclaim received by their 1986 debut album "Kings Of Punk."

In their search for a label to unleash "War All The Time," their sophomore effort, P.I. landed with the newly-launched ALCHEMY RECORDS out of San Francisco that was co-helmed by Victor “The Mascara Snake” Hayden, a one-time member of CAPTAIN BEEFHART & HIS MAGIC BAND.

Recorded over the summer of 1987 and named after a book by famous boozebag poet Charles Bukowksi, "War All The Time" somehow managed to surpass the unbridled mayhem of "Kings Of Punk," as proven by the blistering opener, “The Temple." Throughout its eleven-song duration, POISON IDEA's primary inspirations of DISCHARGE and the GERMS are on full display. However, the recent addition of second guitarist Eric “Thee Vegetable” Olsen and the double-bass thunder of drummer Steve "Thee Slayer Hippy" Hanford brought a more metallic flare to tracks like “Hot Time," “Typical” and the pulverizing rendition of Motorhead’s “Motorhead”.

Asl the next volume in TKO’s "POISON IDEA REMASTERS" series, this newly sourced version of "War All The Time" proves the album to be a crucial, if sometimes overlooked, part of POISON IDEA's hefty oeuvre.
