Biography |
Poison the well is a 5 piece band located in south FL. In the gran scheme of
things our goal is to play music that makes us and the listener feel good.
It just so happensthat we have been writing sounds of such have, energetic,
aggressive music mixed with tons of melody. Here is how it all started..... Original singer Areh Lehrer and original guitarist Ryan Primack started the band under the name of An Acre Lost. It was the same as any other band and pretty much still is; a group of young kids getting together to have fun and play music. Fortunately some of the songs written were pretty cool (well we thought so then...) and our friend Gabe at Ohev Records offered to put us out. That became our first release, a 12' split with Promise No Tomorrow on Ohev Records. It sounded like ass, had some questionable musicianship, and we loved every bit of it. We re-recorded 4 of the songs, plus a new one, Grain of Salt for our second release; a 5 song EP on Good Life Recordings. Unfortunately there have been some problems since then and we are re-releasing the EP ib Undecided Records with a new layout and 3 *Bonus* live tracks; regardless both are or will be floating around out there somewhere. From there we started touring. While the first few tours did not prove to be sucessful in any way, shape, or form, we had the time of our lives and were dying to play even more. In the winter of 1998 we recorded "The Opposite of December at studio 13 with Jeremy Staska (the man, the myth, the legend). In ten days it was finished and in even less time was slated for release on Trustkill Records (woohoo!) We immediately backed up its release with a winter tour, only by this time shows were even better....we were estounded. Dont hear us incorrectly the shows went from 15 kids to mabe 50 kids, but even that was enough to surprise us. "The Opposite of December" shows our direction with the new line-up.
