Bassist Dave Schools on Poster Children: “These posters were another way for our fans to relive the show and commemorate a good time. In a way, they were like the gatefold record cover of the by-gone vinyl era – a visual interpretation for fans to look at while listening to our music.”

Poster Children is slated for a Black Friday release on November 29th. Pre-order requests will be filled first-come, first-served, while supplies last. This is a limited edition book and only one run of books will be printed.  Order the book here
