TISM have retained their anonymous and cult-like status since first forming back in the early 1980s. Laced with nihilistic humour and gleeful sarcasm, as well as a razor-sharp penchant for hybrid dance, pop and rock, TISM may have kept their identities a secret all this time, but their impact on the Australian musical landscape remains undeniable.
joshWith six studio albums under their balaclavas, including their 1988 debut Great Truck’ Songs of the Renaissance and 2004’s The White Albun, TISM have also released multiple live and compilation albums and EPs over the years, spawning enduring fan-favourites, including ‘(He’ll Never Be An) Ol’ Man River’ and ‘Greg! The Stop Sign!!’, millions of streams, and also snagging the seal of approval from longtime fan, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese.
And as any fan who has ever attended a live show will attest to, there really isn’t anything quite in this universe like a TISM performance, whether clad in their balaclava best or attaching giant balloons to their jumpsuits as seen at their illustrious appearances at Good Things Festival in 2022 alongside Bring Me The Horizon, Deftones and many more.
