Poison The Well is a progressive hardcore band from Miami, Florida currently signed to Ferret Records. Guitarist Ryan Primack and drummer Chris Hornbrook are the only remaining members of the band who have been involved since their first album, although vocalist Jeffrey Moreira has been the singer on all four full length albums. All 3 of these members are the core of Poison the Well.
History
Poison the Well was originally named “An Acre Lost” and was started by original singer Aryeh Lehrer and original guitarist Ryan Primack. Shortly after their first release as “An Acre Lost”, a 12” split with Promise No Tomorrow on Ohev Records, the name of the band was changed to Poison the Well. Poison the Well released their first album Distance Only Makes The Heart Grow Fonder in 1998. The album gained them the attention of Trustkill Records who signed them to a multi-album deal. PTW released their first album with Trustkill in 1999, The Opposite of December… A Season of Separation. Trustkill has a strong underground following in the United States, and popularity and some success was achieved. To this day, Guitar World magazine still dubs “The Opposite of December…” one of the greatest hardcore albums of all-time, ranking number 8.

I just heard the two new songs "New Fast" and "Purple Sabbath". I definitely gotta say that they are by far the best that I've heard from them in my opinion. I didn't care much for their older stuff. Good to hear that they're taking a more experimental route. I might actually be anticipating a new album from them.

where do I get Purple Sabbath? I recently switched to Vista so I don't know how to get any music...

I was into The Opposite of December for the longest time and hadn't listened to much of their other stuff before but YCBY is so amazing. It's a completly different sound yet it's just as amazing as TOoD.

i meant Underoath is the headliner. there's only one. :p my bad

gooodnight_ wrote:
thing is the NZ show has ETID, PTW, some random (probably generic, but who knows?) NZ band and Underoath as headliners. Meaning the 4 bands will probably have a longer set list.. I might go there instead of SW, though I want to see Say Anything and Minus the Bear and NIN.. badly

They're not playing any shows in NZ before Soundwave? That sucks. I think a few of the other SW bands are heading over there. Never seen them live so Soundwave shall be fucking sweet!

They are progressing with every release in my opinion. Sure their heavy beginning was kick ass but as they crept into their more melodic style it really brought out some great songwriting and musicianship. Versions is a beast. and everything in between set the stage for what is now Poison The Well.
