condition (record/cover): NM / NM. Rare first pressing of the 1981 debut. T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty) were Orange County hardcore that incorporated death rock aesthetics before that term properly existed. Jack Grisham's vocals alternate between aggressive hardcore shouts and gothic crooning, sometimes within the same song. The band combines punk's speed and energy with darker, more melodic elements - Ron Emory's guitar work shifts from thrashing power chords to atmospheric leads. Songs like the title track became anthems of the Southern California scene. Dance With Me captured a specific moment when hardcore was beginning to fragment into different directions, and T.S.O.L. pointed toward gothic punk's future. The album influenced countless bands from AFI to modern horror-punk. Original insert included, mint condition throughout - a rare find in this shape.
