Social Distortion

Mid-tempo punk rock infused with rockabilly grit and country storytelling. A leather-clad meditation on regret, lost time, and the dusty roads of Southern California.

A gritty, sun-bleached blend of working-class regret and defiant resilience.

Moments Worth Listening For
The opening guitar chime of Story of My Life that immediately signals a shift toward melodic maturity.
The desperate, gravelly plea in the chorus of Ball and Chain where the punk tempo meets a bluesy crawl.
The high-octane transformation of Ring of Fire that bridges the gap between Johnny Cash and Orange County.
