After Thanksgiving this year the Southern California punk rock warriors T.S.O.L. announced that after a long wait they will return in 2017 on a new record label along with releasing their 11th studio album. This will be the bands first album since Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Free Downloads back in 2009. The band has officially signed with Rise Records and confirmed that the upcoming album The Trigger Complex will be available on January 27th, 2017.
While giving us some great news, they also debuted the records first track “I Wanted to See You.” The track is a great introduction into a new sound for the punk band. The overall feel of the song is about a guy who misses someone who has passed so much that they are willing to die just to see them again in another world. It sounds morbid or depressing, but it explores the tragedy of suicide and actually becoming uplifting.
The new album goes back to a their times of punk when it was honestly just about having fun and making music, a simpler time. The 13 tracks are a throwback of punk rock like the sound of The Ramones and The Damned. T.S.O.L are giving us a different sound for the return of the members of the band Grisham, Ron Emory, and Mike Ronche.
