"Botchla" is a song by American metalcore band Poison the Well. It was released in 2002 as the first single from their sophomore full-length album, Tear from the Red. It was the band's first single and also their first music video. Though the song itself did not chart, it helped Tear from the Red land on Billboard's Independent Albums chart (peaking at number 23)[3] and Heatseekers Albums chart (peaking at number 36).[4] The album also entered CMJ's charts, topping the Most Added chart,[5] reaching number 1 on the Loud Rock College chart,[6] number 4 on the Radio 200 and Loud Rock Crucial Spin charts[6][7][8] and number 22 on the Retail 100 chart.[9][10]

"Botchla" and the success of Tear from the Red were responsible for landing Poison the Well a major record label deal.[11][12] In March 2002, the band began to be courted by major record labels, ultimately signing with Velvet Hammer Music and Management Group, which was operating as an independent imprint with secured financing through Atlantic Records.[13][14][15]

"Botchla" appeared on more than a dozen different releases through such record labels as Trustkill Records, Good Life Recordings, Roadrunner Records, Shock Records, Rise Records, Atlantic Records, Velvet Hammer, Hopeless Records, Sub City Records and Kung Fu Recors, and was digitally remastered, along with the rest of Tear from the Red, in 2012.[16][17][18] The music video aired on MTV2's program Headbangers Ball and the song was included in the official Various Artists compilation MTV2 Headbangers Ball'.[19][20]

Release[edit]

"Botchla" is one of Poison the Well's most popular songs and was originally released on the band's sophomore album Tear from the Red. Though it did not have its own CD-single release, it appeared on many Various Artists compilations. The song was first released on the compact disc edition of Tear from the Red by Trustkill Records on February 19, 2002 under catalog number TK37.[21] Poison the Well had originally planned to release Tear from the Red on Valentine's Day, February 14, 2002. However, the date fell on a Thursday and Trustkill Records was forced to work with music industry standards of releasing new music on Tuesdays. The date was therefore set for the first Tuesday after Valentine's Day, February 19, 2002.[21][22]

The song also appeared on the vinyl versions of Tear from the Red, licensed to Good Life Recordings in Belgium and Ides of March in the United States. Ides of March, operated by members of the band Shai Hulud, pressed Tear from the Red on 12" vinyl under catalog number NCC1709, on a choice of solid red vinyl (limited to 1000 copies) and clear gold vinyl (limited to 1000 copies). These sold out in a matter of weeks and on May 14, 2002, a second pressing was available on a choice of clear vinyl (limited to 1000 copies) and pink vinyl (limited to 300 copies).[23] Good Life Recordings pressed Tear from the Red on a pictured 12" vinyl in the summer of 2002.[24] The first pressing (limited to 2000 copies) featured an orange Good Life Recordings logo while the second pressing (limited to 2000 copies) changed it to a blue logo.[25]

In the spring of 2002, Trustkill Records signed a deal with Indonesia's Undying Records for a selection of their releases to be reissued in Asia on cassette tape.[26] Through this licensing deal, Poison the Well's Tear from the Red was pressed on tape and released in July 2002 under catalog number UM003.[27] Most copies were sold in Asia but Trustkill Records received a number of copies for sale in North America through their webstore.[26]

"Botchla" appeared on the benefit Various Artists compilation Plea for Peace/Take Action, Volume 2, released through Sub City Records in September 2002.[28][29][30] It also appeared on the Kerrang! Various Artists compilation Refuse Music: Hometaping, Volume 2, hand-picked and compiled by Casey Chaos of Amen in 2002.[31] It was also used on Hopeless Records' Various Artists compact disc compilation Cinema Board Buddy: Punk Rock Compilation, released on April 12, 2003.[32]

In August 2004, Trustkill Records signed a deal with Roadrunner Records for a selection of their releases to be reissued in foreign markets such as the United Kingdom and Europe.[33] Through this licensing deal, Poison the Well's Tear from the Red was finally made available locally for those regions. The album was re-released in France, Germany and the Netherlands on October 11, 2004[34][35][36] and in the United Kingdom on October 25, 2004 under catalog number RR8222.[33] The Roadrunner Records version of Tear from the Red included a parental advisory on the front cover and had an enhanced content section with the "Botchla" music video. Roadrunner Records also included the song "Botchla" on two of their Various Artists compilation, beginning with MTV2 Headbangers Ball, previously released on October 7, 2003,[19] and Core Sampler, released for the United Kingdom and European market in 2005.[37]

In early 2007, Trustkill Records signed a deal with Shock Records for a selection of their past releases to be distributed in Australasia.[38][39] Through this distribution deal, Poison the Well's album Tear from the Red was finally made available locally in Australia and New Zealand. The distribution deal originally had Trustkill Records ship a container of already-pressed compact discs to Shock Records for retail marketing through their chain of stores. These American-made compact discs were released to the Australasia market on June 2, 2007 and were identical to the ones sold in the United States.[38][39][40][41] After quickly selling out of the American-made discs, Shock Records began repressing the release directly in Australia. The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation and Tear from the Red were each pressed in separate jewel cases baring no barcodes on the back cover; each was given the same catalog number TK24103. The two jewel cases were packaged together in a slipcase which contained the barcode for retail stores and the catalog number TK24103, and the double-disc release was sold as a single unit starting on February 16, 2008.

On March 25, 2008, Trustkill Records re-released The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation and Tear from the Red in a special double-LP gatefold packaging under catalog number TK110.[42] Each side of the gatefold cover featured the front artwork of each album (The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation on the front and Tear from the Red on the back). The release was pressed on a choice of blue and red vinyl (limited to 331 copies), white and yellow vinyl (limited to 336 copies), and white and pink vinyl (limited to 661 copies).[42]

In 2011, Sumerian Records attempted to purchase a license to reissue The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation and Tear from the Red from Trustkill Records but was unsuccessful.[43][44] On May 4, 2012, it was revealed that Rise Records had secured the rights to the reissues and would be releasing them in the summer of 2012.[45][46] Unlike Trustkill Records' 2008 gatefold vinyl repress, Rise Records went to the extent of having all of the audio content remastered and designing a new artwork and layout.[46] The two albums were digitally remastered by Will Putney at The Machine Shop in Hoboken, New Jersey, while the artwork was adapted by merging two releases' original artworks together. After some delays, Rise Records reissued the 19-song, double-release compilation The Opposite of December... A Season of Separation / Tear from the Red on November 20, 2012 as catalog number RR176.[47][48] The set was offered as a single compact disc edition packaged in a digipak, a gatefold double LP and digitally through streaming and download.[49][50] The double LP was originally offered on a choice of transparent blue swirl and transparent red swirl (limited to 500 copies), or clear (limited to 1000 copies) vinyl color. A second pressing was done on blue and red starburst coloured vinyl (limited to 1000 copies). Rise Records also used the song "Botchla" on their three-CD / five-LP released Rise 200 box set, released on June 25, 2013.[51][52]

Music video[edit]

In the last week of May 2002, Poison the Well filmed a music video for "Botchla" with director Darren Doane.[53] The video shows the band performing in an empty warehouse.[54] Although the song had been recorded with bassist Iano Dovi during the Tear from the Red session, Poison the Well was momentarily without a bassist and the music video was shot as a four-piece band featuring only vocalist Moreira, drummer Hornbrook and guitarists Primack and Miller.[54] "Botchla" was not only Poison the Well's first music video, but it was also the first music video financed by Trustkill Records.[53] The band approached film director Doane, who had already directed music videos for Blink-182 and Pennywise.[55]

The music video premiered on Trustkill Records' website on July 31, 2002.[53] It then began airing on MTV2 in November 2002 and was eventually added to Headbangers Ball once the program was revived in 2003.[56][20][19] The music video appeared on many different home videos over the next three years, beginning with Poison the Well's DVD release Tear from the Road, released on August 27, 2002.[57][58] Tear from the Road also included a documentary and live footage of the band on their recent tours promoting Tear from the Red and a making-of the music video feature.[59] The DVD was edited by Christopher Sims through his film production company TimeCode Entertainment, and was marketed through Trustkill Records and Velvet Hammer's promotional division Streetwise Concepts & Culture.[60][61] The music video for "Botchla" next appeared on Poison the Well's second DVD Fall 2003 DVD, released through Altantic Records, Velvet Hammer and Streetwise Concepts & Culture.[62]

"Botchla"'s music video was also used on a handful of Various Artists DVD compilations, beginning with Punk Rawk Show: New American Standard, released by Woodhaven Entertainment in late 2002.[63] It was also used on Hopeless Records' Cinema Board Buddy: Punk Rock Skate Video, released on April 12, 2003, and Trustkill Records' Trustkill Video Assault Vol. 1, released on November 16, 2004.[64][65] Roadrunner Records included the music video on their UK/European compact disc reissue of Tear from the Red as an enhanced content bonus, in October 2004.[33][35] Finally, it appeared on the Grey Two-Eleven Productions DVD Assemblage v1.0, released in 2005.[66]

A live performance of "Botchla", recorded at Warped Tour in 2003, also appeared on the DVD compilation Vans Warped Tour '03, released by Kung Fu Records on June 22, 2004.[67]
