Poster Children was formed in 1987 by Rick (guitar, vocals) and Rose (bass, vocals). Jim joined on guitar in 1991 and Matt (drummer ..7) joined in 2001. Known for a strong DIY ethic and relentless touring, the band has put out ten albums, eleven videos, and a DVD, most of which they created themselves.
More likely to appear in Wired Magazine than Rolling Stone, Poster Children have always been on the cutting edge of technology. Their website first appeared over ten years ago, Rose's Tour Reports were a forerunner of today's blog, and Radio Zero, Rick and Rose's online talk show, was an early example of a webcast/podcast/audioblog. The band was also a pioneer in the Enhanced-CD realm, creating some of the earliest interactive content to be found on a music CD.
