Mixing Springsteens factory-overalls ethic with Southern California punk energy and black leather, punk godfathers Social Distortion have all but trademarked their sound over the past 30 some years, a brand of hard rockabilly/punk thats cut with the melodic, road-tested lyrics of frontman Mike Ness. Their searing guitars and a locomotive rhythm section drive Nesss hard-luck tales of love, loss and lessons learned.
In addition to the early punk of The Ramones and The Clash, the bands sound was culled equally from Nesss love of roots music, specifically early country music greats like Hank Williams and the early blues recordings of the South. The group broke in 1983 with the thrashing plate of punk and displeasure Mommys Little Monster. Their 1988 follow-up, Prison Bound, hinted at a sonic change to come, and by 2004s Sex, Love and Rock n Roll, their sound had solidified into the instantly recognizable brand of rock n roll thats defined them ever since.
