Album Review

A significant group in L.A.'s late-'70s to early-'80s punk scene, Long Beach's T.S.O.L. (True Sound of Liberty) briefly flirted with pseudo radical politics on their exceptional self-titled debut EP, which included songs like "Abolish Government/Silent Majority" and "Property Is Theft." But that phase of the band didn't last long, as they cast away the politics in favor of horror-movie-inspired, gothy, Misfits-style shtick on their first full-length, Dance With Me. This album contains their most famous song, "Code Blue," an extremely catchy number about necrophilia, ever popular with young fans who scream for them to play it at every show. No mere footnote in punk rock history, T.S.O.L.'s early records are slam pit-inducing, infectious stuff. Dance With Me is loaded with fine numbers, including "Sounds of Laughter," "I'm Tired of Life," and "Die for Me." Other than the Misfits, no band has combined gothy subject matter and punk rock barre chords as well as T.S.O.L., who hit the nail on the head with this classic 1981 recording.

Customer Reviews

★ SUPER ★

I saw these guys many times back in the day. This is still one of my favorite albums. I remember when they almost played at my high school, then the principal found out who they were and called it off at the last minute. Never saw that many punks on the campus before, it was great.

Good buy

Good album to get. Shows the darker side of punk rock, think Misfits I guess if you want someone to compare the lyric content to although sounding nothing like them. T.S.O.L. kinda has always done their own thing. They started out very punk sounding with this album then seemed to progress more into a (ST) metal mode of punk rock. I saw them though years back and it seems they went back to their original style, who knows. But this album is a must have for any early 80's punk fan.

Play it for your pastor

This is the album that got me sent to the child psychologist. For sheer venom, vileness and anger, it can't be beat. It is easily one of the best punk albums of all time. Code Blue alone will scare the bejesus out of almost any parent. The album as a whole is a sane, healthy citizen's nightmare. Good stuff.

In the early years of Los Angeles punk, one of the premiere hardcore bands was T.S.O.L., which stood for True Sounds of Liberty. Offering poppier music than many of their contemporaries and featuring an image that appealed to punks who wanted to dive deeper into the gothic subgenre already being offered by many British punk bands, T.S.O.L. became hugely popular on...
