The Trigger

Short for True Sounds of Liberty, T.S.O.L. struck a nerve in the early 1980s. Now, nearly four decades later, original members Ron Emory (guitar), Mike Roche (bass), and Jack Grisham (vocals), joined by new member Chip Hanna (drums), return with one of their most inspired albums in decades "The Trigger Complex". Set for release via Rise Records on January 27, 2017, Grisham states, “It's a great time to be making music; to have a voice that can be heard.” Going on, he adds, “I'm glad that things look bleak.” The Trigger Complex is a varied and thrilling album that the band should be proud of and people should dig in and fill up on this full meal deal.
