Album Description
"Season of Poison" is the highly anticipated sophomore album from Shiny Toy Guns. 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. Season of Poison marks an evolution for the band not only sonically but in the band dynamics as well. Sisely Treasure from the band Cooler Kids replaced departed vocalist Carah Faye Charnow who left the group this past summer to pursue other interests. Dawson explains, "We moved forward with our initial choice for co-lead singer of the band in 2002, longtime friend Sisely Treasure. At that time she was still locked into her Dreamworks Records deal with her former project Cooler Kids and we were not able to professionally move forward with her. So we have returned to the exact original idea and lineup that Shiny Toy Guns was meant to be." With a new singer who is also now a writing partner to Petree and Dawson, Treasure brings in whole new complimentary perspective to the band. The result is a hard rocking, groove shaking album that will appeal to die hard Shiny Toy Guns fans and new ones alike. The mercurial foursome (which also includes Mikey Martin on drums), has been described as everything from 'glam-goth-new wave-chic' to 'electronic mash-up with a dance floor destroyer,' thanks to their riveting breakthrough single "Le Disko" which topped the charts in 2006. The playful dance-anthem permeated radio and clubs, was featured in advertisements for Motorola and Apple and was a single of the week on iTunes' playlist. The band also was a "MTVU Freshman Five Artists for Fall 2006" as well as a MTV and MTV2 Discover and Download artist. They appeared on several television shows such as The Late Show with David Letterman, Late Night with Conan O'Brien and Jimmy Kimmel Live. The positive attention and legendary live shows led to an incredible accolade for the band, a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Album this past year.

 Great CD! January 1, 2009
I really love this second CD from Shiny Toy Guns! I initially got into the band when I heard the "Le Disko" song from the iPod commercial. I actually did see them in concert as well and they were a very energetic band with a lot of chemistry. I really love their music and this CD I do listen to a lot. I was very happy when I finally got the CD in the mail and I could not stop listening to it. I recommend this CD for anyone who likes them!
Give it a chance.. December 23, 2008
I'll admit it.. when I opened the cd in the parking lot and threw it in my cd player I was really disapointed. But after going to see the band live I eventually found the cd under my car seat and put it back in.
The cd is very good! When Did This Storm Begin is a bit confusing and sounds like three songs put together and I think if you can get past that and Ghost Town you'll be alright. My favorite songs are: Money for That, Ricochet!, Poison, Blown Away, and Frozen Oceans. Even though there are some songs I definetely skip through the good outweighs the bad. The cd hasn't left my car in weeks!

STG- New Disk December 8, 2008

I just discovered this band when I heard their cover of the "Finale / Reprise" on the Nightmare Revisited cover project. I was not familiar with them, the lineup or anything. So I started listening to their other stuff- and liked it. ALL.
As i researched it- i found that they just released this new disk. I got it and started listening and I REALLY love the NEW disk. Actually, I like it more than the 1st album.
I have read a lot of people complaining about 'they are not as good without Carah'. But coming from someone who heard it all fresh, I think the new girl is easily as good and I frankly prefer her on the new songs.
And what do you know- but I discover they are to play at a club in my town so I go to see them. The show was great, the performances were flawless and I left a true fan.
I always think its funny when a band grows and evolves, and the fans all go nuts saying stuff like 'they sold out' or 'they are not what they used to be'. NO band can survive without evolving. STG has achieved a new plateau and I hope that they continue to grow.
Great Disk!!!!!
