When it came to the follow-up of their 1990 magnum opus Feel The Darkness, failure was not an option for POISON IDEA.


Seeking a way to expand their musical horizons while still retaining their cranked-up style, UK-cum-Chicagoian producer Iain Burgess (BIG BLACK, the EFFIGIES, NAKED RAYGUN) was brought in to assist in this audacious feat. The results – 1992’s Blank Blackout Vacant – successfully showcased a meshing of POISON IDEA's classically surging sound and a new found refinement: demonstrated by the brass section on tracks like the driving opener “Say Goodbye” or the chugging, MOTORHEAD-esque “Forever and Always”. Rolling on with their relentless reissue schedule for Portland’s Kings of Punk, TKO replenishes the double-disc edition of Blank Blackout Vacant first introduced back in the maddening year of 2020. Along with the album’s original batch of thirteen tracks capped off by a thundering version of NEW YORK DOLLS’ “Vietnamese Baby”, you get a bonus LP containing a bevy of B-Sides, covers by acts as disparate as LORDS OF THE NEW CHURCH, the WHO and BOOKER T. & the M.G.'s, as well as a live on-air performance on Portland’s long-running community radio station KBOO from the Fall of 1991. Originally released at a pivotal point in POISON IDEA's career, Blank Blackout Vacant remains an essential component in the understanding of the band's epic trajectory.
