TSOL- Code Blue
I never got along with the girls at my school Filling me up with all their morals and their rules They'd pile all their problems on my head I'd rather go out and fuck the dead 'Cause I can do what I want and they won't complain I wanna fuck I wanna fuck the dead Middle of the night so silently I creep on over to the mortuary Lift up the casket and fiddle with the dead Their cold blue flesh makes me turn red 'Cause I can do what I want and they won't complain I wanna fuck I wanna fuck the dead And I don't even care how she died... But I like it better if she smells of formaldehyde! Never on the rag or say leave me alone They don't scream and they don't moan Don't even cry if I shoot in their hair Lying on the table she smiles and she stares Chorus

Sad memories the gatherig rain brings I loved her but I'll never see her again Clouds raise their heads in the morning The way I once walked on by her But now she's gone and I'll never raise my face again White horses dragged my lover from me The clouds rushed in and drowned my sorrow with the rain My friends try to lift me They understand how I'm feeling But the truth holds me down She came and went with the rain White horses dragged my lover from me The clouds rushed in and drowned my sorrow... With the rain Now always the storms come... Raindrops run down my windows All that's left is her picture But someday it to will Wash away... Wash away... I watched her walk away, With the rain

Colors are blurring There are patterns in my mind Things are hidden to the world around me But still they say I'm blind Wrap me up in a web of lies Meet the man who's locked inside I'm too many people in too many places I've a split personality

Although most commonly associated with hardcore punk, TSOL's music varies on each release. They have also released music in the styles of deathrock, art punk, horror punk, and other varieties of punk music.
History
Formed in 1979 in Long Beach, California, TSOL originated as a hardcore punk band, developing from earlier bands Johnny Coathanger and the Abortions, SS Cult, and Vicious Circle.Featuring the lineup of vocalist Jack Grisham (who has been credited as Jack Greggors, Alex Morgan, Jack Ladoga, Jim Woo and James DeLauge), guitarist Ron Emory, bassist Mike Roche, and drummer Todd Barnes, the band's first release was a harshly political eponymous EP featuring tracks such as "Superficial Love," "World War III" and "Abolish Government."
Evolved sound
After their debut EP, they released Dance With Me. A departure from the political themes of the previous release, "Dance With Me" was far darker and more macabre, featuring such themes as necrophilia, and the song "Silent Scream," which is made up entirely of horror movie clichés. Their most popular release, both then and to this day, the album earned them the title of the "West Coast Misfits" (a reference to Glenn Danzig's band on the East Coast), and has made the band a favorite amongst horror punk fans.They later signed to independent label Alternative Tentacles, for which they released the Weathered Statues 7" extended play and the Beneath the Shadows album which featured, for the first time, keyboard player Greg Kuehn who added a new dimension to the band. Around this period their style had taken yet another new direction, moving towards a highly experimental and varied style, featuring art punk and psychedelic leanings, as well as their customary horror themes. There was a violent backlash against this change among fans at the time, and when on tour the band was harshly heckled. Today, Beneath the Shadows is acclaimed by fans and critics as an achievement in art punk and new wave experimentation, and while Dance With Me remains the favorite release for most people, it is Beneath the Shadows that separates TSOL from the Hardcore genre.
Amid personal turmoil, Jack Grisham and Todd Barnes left the band and were replaced by singer Joe Wood (Grisham's brother-in-law) and drummer Mitch Dean. This new line-up released the album Change Today? in 1984 on Enigma Records, which continuous the post-punk direction and finished this era with Revenge in 1986, which featured more polished production but still kept some punk and hardcore tunes.
Grisham has gone on separately to a lengthy recording career.
Metal experimentation
The band became friends with Guns N' Roses and TSOL t-shirts can be seen in the GNR video for "Sweet Child o' Mine". They followed up with an album in a similar style, titled Hit and Run. Before it was released, original guitarist Ron Emory quit the band, leaving Mike Roche as the sole original member.TSOL were joined briefly by guitarist Scotty Phillips, who quit before the band started recording the follow-up to Hit and Run. They eventually hired guitar player and actor Marshall Rohner. They released a blues-metal album titled Strange Love in 1990. Mike Roche quit shortly before the album release, leaving no original member in the band. A compilation album entitled Hell and Back Together 1984–1990 was issued in 1992 with an emphasis on their metal era. Murphy Karges, later of Sugar Ray, briefly replaced Roche on bass as did Josh Also.
This late-eighties lineup was popular enough to invite bookings in Brazil and Argentina, where the Grisham-led band hold no legal rights to prevent Wood from gigging as TSOL. Since 1996, Wood has been joined by guitarists including Mike Martt and Drac Conley, drummers Steve "Sully" O’Sullivan and Mitch Dean and bassist Dave Mello, who joined the band near the end of its Enigma years run. Additionally, Wood has pursued musical work in Joe Wood and the Lonely Ones and Cisco Poison.
Original TSOL reform
Meanwhile, the original members started playing shows featuring the band's early material under the name TSOL, often playing the same cities, the same nights as the other TSOL. Since Joe Wood and Mitch Dean now owned the rights to the name TSOL, they threatened to sue the original members, who released a live album of their early material under the name "Grisham, Roche, Emory and Barnes" but stopped playing together soon after because of drug problems. They also did some gigs during this time as "LOST," TSOL backwards.In 1996, most of the original members settled down and realized that they still had a passion for their music and that fans wanted them to reunite. In 1999, they fought with Wood for rights to the name and won before joining the Vans Warped Tour, playing for the first time in years under the name TSOL.
Todd Barnes died on of a brain aneurysm on December 6, 1999, at the age of 34. The remaining members recruited drummer Jay O'Brien and released the "Anticop" single and the albums Disappear and Divided We Stand on Nitro Records, the latter of which featured Greg Kuehn back on keyboards. The Original TSOL recorded two more full length albums. In September 2007, Cider City Records released the posthumous live album Live From Long Beach, recorded in November 2006 on the weekend of the band's two "farewell" performances.
Their departure was short-lived, however, as they returned to perform a couple of local shows in late 2007. They also headlined the "Fuck the Whales, Save a Chckn" benefit in Feb. 2008, held to help with cancer treatment bills for guitarist Craig "Chckn" Jewett of D.I.
They are an independent band under the Nitro Records banner, which was started by Offspring vocalist Dexter Holland, for whom TSOL is cited as an influence.
In December 2008, the band, in cooperation with Hurley International, entered the studio to record Life, Liberty & the Pursuit of Free Downloads which was, as the title suggests, made available as a free download through Hurley's website on January 8, 2009.
Film
In 1981, director Paul Young made Urban Struggle: The Battle of The Cuckoo's Nest, a film which features live performances by TSOL, as well as several other Orange County punk and hardcore bands. Dave Markey's 1982 film The Slog Movie also features live TSOL performances. Their music is also featured in the 1984 movie Suburbia, the 1985 version of popular horror movie Return of the Living Dead, Summer Sessions (Skateboarding Video) in 1985 and Dangerously Close in 1986. They were also mentioned in the documentary Punk's Not Dead. The 1986 Billabong's legendary 'Surf into Summer 86' featured TSOL and Agent Orange on a soundtrack.
