The Poison Control Center

The Poison Control Center makes STEVEN HYDEN of the AV Club’s Top Ten Albums of the Year, & picks PCC the Best Live Band of the year!  Thanks so much for all your support Steven, it was awesome meeting you this year, and u fucking rule! Here is what Steven wrote about us Best live bandOne night this summer, I sat in the back of a downtown Milwaukee bar with maybe 20 other people and saw Iowa indie-rock band The Poison Control Center try to make every corny rock ’n’ roll myth I’ve ever heard come to life. The guitar player played power chords while doing the splits. The other guitar player soloed while standing on his head. They sang love songs and tried to lead sing-alongs of songs nobody knew. They demanded that the audience sweat as hard as they were sweating; failing that, they rubbed their own sweat against us. And you know what? It worked. I felt 10 years younger and a whole lot less cynical when I walked out that night. Special bonus: The band’s record, Stranger Ballet, is fantastic.  To see Steven’s top list of the year and all the other AV Club writers here is the direct link.. http://www.avclub.com/articles/the-best-music-of-2011-the-ballots,66084/
