It was released on November 4, 2008 through Universal Motown Records Group. It peaked at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following week. The album introduced the band's third female vocalist, Sisely Treasure,[1] and was the only studio album to feature her. The album featured two singles: "Ricochet!" and "Ghost Town".
Season of Poison generated far less hype than We Are Pilots and failed to sell well, resulting in a low sales count of 60,000 copies. In 2009, Jeremy Dawson admitted via Shiny Toy Guns' official website that while he believes Season of Poison is a great album, it was indeed too different too soon, and promised a return to their electronic roots for the band's third album.
