T.S.O.L.

















"dance with me"
Year:  1981
Label:  Epitaph
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  14
Time:  28 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Goth Punk














The band started in 1979 by four teenagers with a passion for the emerging punk hardcore community, but quickly they start also to get intesrest for gothic music, death rock and post-punk. This debut album is usually described as "horror punk" in the similar vein of their comrades Misfits, but with the past of thears TSOL took also other influences such as: hardcore, goth rock or pop which can to reminded other bands, principally: The Damned.

"change today?"
Year:  1984
Label:  Universal
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  10
Time:  30 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Goth Punk















This is the third TSOL album and fuck yes, one of the best but the best. The work get brilliant similarities to Misfits, Danzig and Samhain, keeping their punk roots with an strong gothic voice, which also can to remind to The Damned in its more goth period. Perhaps slower and less hardcore than their debut, but highly recommended for those all followers of the band.

"revenge"
Year:  1986
Label:  Restless
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  10
Time:  34 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Goth Punk















Fourth TSOL studio album and the last one of their golden era. After this "revenge" it came two attempts to mainstream heavy metal industry entitled: "hit and run" (1988) and "strange love" (1990), both a complete commercial failure. This "revenge" coud be a balance between their typical goth punk plus some hard-rock influences, and the album become really original and interesting.

"the trigger complex"
Year:  2017
Label:  Reprise
Format:  CD, LP
Tracks:  12
Time:  35 min.
Genre:  rock
Style:        Goth Punk














After eight years of complete discographic silence, the californian veterans punk rockers attack us again with new album. This time there is again that mix of goth punk which remind classic bands as: The Damned, with some pop influences, whith few distorted guitards and clear and melodic voices too. It's no sure to describe this one as a goth punk album, in the 80's style, but it's something like that. This is more related to optimistyc and positive pop attitude. The band added in some songs even electronic keyboard and piano. But the final result is more than satisfactory, not the typical TSOL album, but good anyway. Highly recommended
