Season of Poison by Shiny Toy Guns
Season of Poison is an album by Shiny Toy Guns, released in 2008. 2 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 15 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “Ricochet”, on 5 lists with a best position of #20.
Season of Poison, Shiny Toy Guns' second album, landed through Universal Motown on November 4, 2008, with a new voice out front: Sisely Treasure, the band's third female singer, who replaced Carah Faye Charnow and made just this one studio album with them. Chad Petree still sang and played guitar, with Jeremy Dawson on bass and keyboards and Mike Martin on drums.
The trouble was the change of direction. After the synth-heavy buzz of We Are Pilots, this one drifted away from the electronics, and the fans didn't follow: it moved only 60,000 copies. Dawson later admitted on the band's website that it was too different too soon, while still calling it a great album, and vowed that the next record would go back to the synths and beats they started with. "Ricochet!" and "Ghost Town" were the singles.
