About Me

WE ARE NOW STREAMING OUR ENTIRE ALBUM, "A COLLAGE OF IMPRESSIONS" for FREE! Listen to it here Take a look at our brand new tour film... "Don't Cry" look closely you might see yourself!
The Poison Control Center have been hanging from chandeliers and doing somersaults around the country for the last six years. Releasing numerous EPs and Singles, garnering national press for their explosive live shows, been featured on NPR, played the CMJ festival twice, opened for their idols, headlined festivals, and even had Max Weinberg sit in on drums for a show. They are floored to be a part of the Afternoon Records family.
Here is what some people have said recently about the band....
"The Ames-based indie band approaches songwriting with a scattered musical mindset, switching genres and bending the traditional rules of rock music instantaneously. Perfect power pop is gleefully sabotaged, and a simply arranged horn section has some outstanding cameos. "Shot in the Face" shows the band's ability to maintain a song's emotive quality without losing an ounce of catchiness. Interesting matchups are everywhere; if Wolf Parade listened to too much Tom Petty, "Ride the Lightning" would be the result." The Daily Iowan
"The Vibe is undeniable, considering the praise PCC has been getting in the indie-pop blogosphere, it might end up giving Tapes N' Tapes a run for their money." the Onion
"very dynamic, versatile and just a little bit frightening!" KEXP Blog
"They’ve helmed in their more reckless leanings and stand before us with the tassel flipped over to the left side of their caps, signifying a graduation of sorts into the kind of rock and roll world that they always knew was out there waiting for them." Daytrotter
"I can only describe them as "The Replacements" meet the "Beach Boys" in a dark alley, kick the shit out of them, and now they're driving across town to shove their Skechers up Paul McCartney's ass. Howling yet intelligent lyrics, Crazy Horse guitar tones and hints of classical instruments haunt the entire collection of songs." Exploration Iowa
