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.

It's a Long Way To the Top: Chicago Music Interns (Part 1)

By Dan Morgridge

The music industry primarily runs off of the hopes and dreams of millions of kids wanting to be in a rock and roll band. Its slightly lesser known secondary source of fuel is the hopes and dreams of kids who at least want to work in a rock and roll business. All over Chicago, businesses large and small find interns knocking on their door - students, career-changers, hobbyists, and more. Transmission sits down to talk to some of them about where they're coming from, where they want to go, and what fun manual labor they've performed along on the way.
