Born to Kill

Social Distortion

Mid-tempo punk anthems soaked in rockabilly twang and hard-won wisdom. A leather-clad reflection on aging, regret, and the persistence of the outlaw spirit.

Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the feedback-heavy intro into the chugging rockabilly riff of the title track
The surprisingly tender and elongated guitar solo during the five-minute cover of Wicked Game
The way the drums drop to a simple floor tom beat during the bridge of The Way Things Were
The final vocal rasp on Over You that fades into a haunting single-note piano melody
