Seminal SoCal punks T.S.O.L.—or True Sounds of Liberty—are back with a new record: The Trigger Complex, their first studio album in more than a decade. Since 1978, the Long Beach band have blended fast-paced bass riffs with grungy surf-guitar melodies. As early proponents of American hardcore, T.S.O.L. are known for bringing a gloomier, goth aesthetic to an already gritty music scene. Their San Jose show will also feature performances by Los Angeles punk band Anti-Social and Detroit metal-funk outfit Downtown Brown. Be sure to wear your moshing shoes.
