Hurry, Call Poison Control!
If you break out in a sweat and feel the urge to flop around and flail your arms about you either need to call the poison control center, or you are in the middle of a legendary set by Ames, IA band The Poison Control Center. Known for ending shows in a “pig-pile” and whipping the crowd into a chaotic frenzy with their horns and poppy hooks, the PCC “want to break down the wall between crowd and band, everyone needs to feel each others' sweat to make it magical!"
It was nearly one year ago that Patrick R.Tape Fleming (Guitar, Vocals), Devin W. Frank (Guitar, Trumpet, Vocals), Joseph P. Terry (Bass, Trumpet, Vocals), Donald Ephraim Curtis III (Drums, Saxophone, Vocals) signed to the great Minnesota label Afternoon Records. Since that time they have released an ep (Glory Us), their debut full-length (A Collage of Impressions) and are preparing to release a new ep (Make Love A Star Ep) on July 22nd.
