Poison The Well post update on next album

Posted by aubin on Monday, September 15, 2008 at 6:00 PM (EDT)

Poison The Well have posted an update as they continue to work on new material for their next full length.

So we're about halfway done with writing the new record now. We just demoed our first 7 songs and figured it would be a good spot for everyone to check in and say hi. It doesn't sound like any other PTW records, but it sounds like a great next step. I don't know how to describe it... the closest comparison I have is saying it sounds like music made by a vampire crust punk wearing a cutoff jean jacket with spikes and a giant Crass patch on the back, headbanging to darkly romantic 50s music while on his way to the beach for a surf party.

The entire band individually weighed in and you can see what they each said on their myspace blog.

The band released Versions in 2007.

that description sounds like a big crusty turd on a big crusty stick.

I hate poison the well and I actually thought Versions was pretty fucking decent.

I have not heard Versions yet...but I still love this band.

satan_on_wheels (September 17, 2008)

versions has been out for over a year. how do you "love" a band and not hear their record that came out over a year ago? Sounds fishy to me....

Somehow I don't see Poison The Well making a very compelling crust lp.

I agree. I've never liked PTW anyway.

Versions was fuckin good if you ask me, I'm interested to hear where they go from there

Personally, I still dig Tear From the Red and You come Before You

I don't really think PTW can do anything to make me not like them. I have no expectations for the new album, therefore I will not be disappointed.

sugarfull (September 16, 2008)

That's the worst description possible. So what is it, anarcho punk mixed with crust mixed with surf rock? He could have just said something like that, but the description he's put up just plants an incredibly stupid image in my head (a vampire crusty going to a beach party? What??)

Report

Cheesetits (September 16, 2008)

It's called "joking around"

Report

Ellsi (September 16, 2008)

Here's to hoping that its heavier than Versions. Don't get me wrong I loved Versions. I just expect a little more heavier from my Poison the Well albums.

Report

kraze (September 16, 2008)

Heavy does not equal chug chug. Version was easily their "heaviest" album yet.
