Shiny Toy Guns to Release Sophomore Album 'Season of Poison' November 4th : New album. New sounds. The return of their original female vocalist. Universal Motown Records will release the highly anticipated sophomore album from the band Shiny Toy Guns entitled Season Of Poison on November 4th. The album is the follow up to their critically acclaimed Grammy nominated debut record We Are Pilots which was released in 2006. The band spent the better half of 2 years on and off the road progressing their dance/rock and electronic roots. Once again producing the album by themselves, founding members Chad Petree (vocals, guitar) and Jeremy Dawson (synthesizer, bass) used 2008 technology to marry dynamic late-70's style synthesizer programming with face-erasing stoner rock; gently spreading this over layer upon layer of ethnic and tribal rhythms. Not to mention their keen pop sense in lyrics and arrangement have collided with the legendary mixing abilities of super-engineer Andy Wallace to create a completely new color in the future-forward musical spectrum. The first single off of Season Of Poison is "Ricochet," a heavy rhythmic guitar laden song already being heard on radio stations across the nation including the highly influential KROQ in Los Angeles. - 2008-09-16
