“I think it’s important for a band to keep pushing—trying new things,” says Jack Grisham, vocalist for legendary SoCal punk band T.S.O.L. “If not, you might as well do the county fair circuit. Not that there’s anything wrong with that—you’ve got to make a living somehow!” For T.S.O.L., that “new thing” is their ninth studio album “A-Side Graffiti”, produced by Paul Roessler (The Screamers, Nina Hagen, Josie Cotton), which comes out February 27, 2024 via Kitten Robot Records.
The bold first single, “Swimming” (out 2/06) is a West Coast punk anthem in waiting. With searing guitars and a rhythm section ready for an old school pit, it launches out of the record with sweat and teeth. “Yeah, I guess you could call me a hedonist, or at least a selfish motherfucker who’s been mired too many times in the pleasure of the flesh—swimming in a blonde sargasso sea,” he says enigmatically of the song.
