As happened to so many punk bands, Jerry A. and Poison Idea also went all in on drugs and drinking as they toured the country, spiraling out of control and blowing both the band and their lives apart.\u003cbr\u003eBlack Heart Fades Blue is not an apology or a nostalgic catalog of events, but a true reckoning with one's past and present.
