Fanclub Pressing. Dance with Me is the first full-length album by the American hardcore punk band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1981 though Frontier Records. While the band's eponymously titled debut EP, released earlier that year, had been filled with radical leftist lyrics,
Dance With Me brings the speed and force of early California punk into darker territory. Ron Emory’s sharp guitar lines and Jack Grisham’s theatrical delivery give the songs an eerie character, balancing raw hardcore momentum with the atmosphere that helped define American deathrock.Dance with Me moved away from politics in favor of horror film- and gothic-inspired subject matter.
