anybody who knows me knows that I was NOT raised on punk rock, (think Bread) but landing Jerry A Lang from iconic punk forefathers Poison Idea ( Official ) was a coup for Episode 153 of Third Gear Scratch. Jerry has lived so hard and so fast for a very long time and is a very important gear in the punk machine from the 80's, 90's and into the 00's and is now enjoying a diverse existence which includes a recent biography on Rare Bird Lit called Black Heart Fades Blue, a pandemic fueled solo album called From The Fire, Into The Water on American Leather Records. But the big news here is that he has released a version of a song called The Badge from Poison Idea's 3rd album, Feel The Darkness, a crossover album that took them from straight punk to more metal and hardcore sounds. The Badge has been remixed by a Portland police officer! I repeat, this anti-cop scree has been remixed faithfully by one of PDX's finest and is coming April 23rd. The story about how this happened is truly amazing. The Badge has been covered previously by Pantera for the soundtrack of the 1994 film The Crow starring Brandon Lee. This is killer rap with a duke of punk rock who is still kicking ass, living well and enjoying the fruits of his hard labor. Get wet!
