Demand for TISM’s satirical social commentary, paired with high energy, synth-based alternative rock has not waned, it seems, in the two decades since hanging up their boots on the back of final studio album DOn stage, it’s still the band’s unrelenting, lively mix of electric guitars, punchy beats, and loosely choreographed dance moves that’s so enthralling.
