TSOL - Hit and Run - hard rock classic?

T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty) is an American punk rock band formed in 1978 in Long Beach, California.[1] Although most commonly associated with hardcore punk, T.S.O.L.'s music has varied on each release, including such styles as deathrock, art punk, horror punk, other varieties of punk music, and hard rock. Hit and Run is the fifth studio album by the American rock band T.S.O.L. (True Sounds of Liberty), released in 1987 through Enigma Records. It marked a stylistic shift for the band, who departed from their earlier gothic rock and hard rock efforts in favor of a glam metal persona and sound. Hit and Run was T.S.O.L.'s only release to chart, reaching no. 184 on the Billboard 200, but the band's new direction alienated their fans in vast numbers and was criticized by reviewers. Enigma found the album difficult to market due to the group's change in musical style and image. It failed to be the commercial breakthrough the members had hoped for, and T.S.O.L. left Enigma as a result. #hitandrun, #hitandrunalbum, #tsol, #hellandbacktogether1984-1990, #tsol, #truesoundsofliberty, #mordantrhed, #JackGrisham, #RonEmory, #PoshBoyRecords, #Enigmarecords, #fasterpussycat, #MikeRoche, #JoeWood, #mikeroche, #t.s.o.l.
