T.S.O.L Tickets

Formed in 1978 in Long Beach, California, T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty) built their reputation on sharp political commentary and a gothic edge uncommon in punk at the time. Original members Jack Grisham, Ron Emory, Mike Roche, and Todd Barnes became central figures in the early SoCal hardcore movement, often sharing bills with Black Flag and Adolescents. Their music quickly set them apart through dark themes and raw urgency.

Their self-titled EP and debut album Dance with Me (1981) established tracks like “Sounds of Laughter” and “Code Blue” as cult punk anthems. Beneath the Shadows (1982) incorporated keyboards, broadening their sound. Over decades, the band released more than 10 studio albums, with Change Today? (1984) and Revenge (1986) cementing their influence. T.S.O.L. appeared on major punk compilations and toured extensively, shaping generations of bands.

At live shows, classics like “Abolish Government” turn crowds into frenzied singalongs, while their mix of hardcore energy and post-punk mood keeps every set unpredictable. With over 40 years of punk history behind them, they remain a visceral force on stage. Don’t miss their uncompromising performances — secure your T.S.O.L tickets today on Yadara.
