On April 21, aka Record Store Day, American Leather Records and hardcore band Poison Idea will release a new, limited edition 7" of classic song "The Badge."

Originally released on Feel the Darkness (1990), the anti-police anthem has received some notoriety over the years, including a cover by Pantera. This new edition features a 2023 remixed by a Portland police officer. 

“Why would ‘anti-police band’ be working with a police officer now ? You have to listen and feel this piece of art to believe it!” Jerry A says in a statement.

It is available for preorder now.
