$3 at the door.  Over 2008 and into 2009, The Poison Control Center's four members (four songwriters living in four different cities) tethered their relationship by periodically exchanging a demo-of-the-day to document their daily life. During a week in May of 2009, the group hauled over 40 songs a collective 1500 miles from their respective homes to a turn of the century schoolhouse on the Mississippi River filled with analog recording equipment. The result is Sad Sour Future (Afternoon Records/Warner Music Group), a double-album encompassing the motions and emotions of separation, loss, and the struggles of leaving your 20’s behind and growing older in your own skin, from a band described as "dynamic, versatile, and just a little bit frightening." (KEXP).

The band has toured widely throughout the United States in the past 3 years in support of their 2007 record A Collage Of Impressions (opening tours for The Apples In Stereo, The Heavenly States, Head Of Femur and Dressy Bessy along the way).
