Biography

Social Distortion, the enduring L.A. punk band, has navigated personnel changes and singer Mike Ness's heroin addiction to achieve mainstream acceptance for their hard-hitting punk sound. Formed in 1978 in the fertile L.A. punk scene, the band's music, likened to a punk version of the Rolling Stones, garnered attention with singles like "Another State of Mind" and MTV hits like "Ball and Chain." Despite struggles, Social Distortion continued to evolve their roots rock sound, blending punk, blues, country, and rockabilly.

Following the success of their popular album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, Social Distortion took a hiatus before returning with White Light, White Heat, White Trash in 1996. The band saw lineup changes and tragedy with the passing of guitarist Dennis Danell in 2000. Social Distortion continued to release albums and tour, with a new lineup in 2011 for their album Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, showcasing a glossy yet muscular sound under the guidance of Mike Ness.
