T.S.O.L. Performs 'Triangle' | Fender

When Ron Emory, Jack Grisham and Mike Roche from punk pioneers T.S.O.L. stopped into the Fender Artist Showroom to perform a few songs, they offered an acoustic take on their song “Triangle.” The track comes off their 1981 debut album, “Dance with Me,” but this version is definitely something that has never been heard before.

It's kick ass that not a lot of people know about this album. Hands down one of the best all time punk albums to come out of SoCal. I'd listen to this then charge Hermosa pier in like '85. Ah shit those were the days.

[kevinn]

I've seen these guys 4 times in concert……..this acoustic version was awesome. They should really think about recording an acoustic album, that would kick fuckin' ass.

[jameslykins]

I love TSOL and Jack has to be one of the greatest voices in all of punk rock.

[cripescate]

I love Ron Emorys tunes. That prick made me spend a fortune on chorus and flanger pedals tryin to imitate him

[patrickjohnmccollough]

Joe wood put out some amazing blues albums.. I love that Ron went in a different direction with TSOL ..anything the dude plays is golden ...

[WorldRockumentaryChannel]

That was fantastic. It was one of my favorites back in 1981....

[kenopsia]

holy shit i didn’t know anyone else knew about TSOL

[Late_to_great]

[JLeSage-cjnu]

I was lucky enough to catch them in '83/84 after Change Today, in Baltimore, MD. It was a very small scene, but between road trips to NYC and DC, I saw them all. This band is one of the best. I love Black Flag, but these guys are honestly more talented. I don't know, the Dead Kennedys were really good, Butthole Surfers were insane, 2 drummers, a tuba, a guitar & Vocals through a bullhorn into the mike. Nahh, TSOL is the most talented of them all & this is my favorite of their songs. Sorry, I'm getting pretty old, & this has me really excited. Christ, I think I'm gonna have a heart attack, but I'll die smiling. There's no way out but

[patrickjohnmccollough]

So glad I nabbed one of those guitar before they were out of production

[michaelbronfman]

[darreneffle]

Holy smokes i grew downtown la, San Fernando Valley. 69 to 2000 . early punk was the best. Tsol, germs, x, black flag, circle jerks . Alice bag. All rocked. I miss those times but still listen to all the band's weekly if not more.

We met two men from other sides, on a walk down by the river side
Trigger finger itching to see some action, he would tell me what I'd need to know
On a mission sent by the high command, proceed with caution this man's dangerous
Double agent works for the other side, get what you can then terminate his life
Reached for his lugger but I drew mine first
You're a better man than I were his last words
You're a better man than I were his last words
You're a better man than I were his last words
Was I really?
I thought about it on my way home, dingy room in a rundown hotel
Thought about who I really was, where I am from, where I'm heading to
It never really bothered me this way, I guess I got the secret agent blues
All this killing's really got me down, I got the secret agent blues
I give in just can't stand it no more, I resign
Here's my badge and gun
But you can't quit like that with us, you're a traitor and must be disposed of
They've reached for their weapons but I drew mine first
Others will come for you were their last words
Others will come for you were their last words
Others will come for you were their last words
I will be waiting
I'm hit up once or twice a week, always different places and faces
Getting so tired I can't even sleep, will they ever come for me again
So tired of all this running around, getting edgy playing hide and seek
Can't take it got to get away but there's no way out but death

[notnathan]

Now let's see em to code blue for fender :)

[scottcalloway]

They should go incognito to various coffee shops and open mics to mess with people...

[gfunkehauser]

he kind of sings like Charles Nelson Reilly

[tom]

Eh I’ll always miss the Joe Wood TSOL - punk after teen years sucks and looks really really bad
