On Friday 15 December at 12.01am TISM will release their brand new ep The “C” Word, which will be available on streaming services, CD and 12” vinyl. With caterwauling commentary and a cracking chorus, The “C” Word takes us up crap creek in the colloquial canoe.
TISM recently announced forthcoming live shows. Sign up here for the earliest news on East Coast dates.
When asked for comment regarding the forthcoming release and live shows, TISM provided the following statement:
TISM’s POLITICAL MANIFESTO
Like all Australian music performers except for Midnight Oil, TISM has an acute political and economic awareness.
To all the nay-sayers, we reply: we’ve done our research.
We are of course aware the phrase “I’ve done my research” has, in this new digital era, two meanings:
A. I have undertaken a painstaking process of constructing a preliminary hypothesis that expresses my best explanation for what I observe in reality, then carefully researched its accuracy by designing tests that scrupulously eliminate the possibility of bias, and, afterwards, presented my conclusions to peers in order for them to check the accuracy of my observations, always with the understanding that all hypotheses are provisional and are to be abandoned upon the emergence of countervailing data.
B. I’ve gone online and found shit I agree with.
We are sure it will be obvious which of these two definitions apply to us.
