About
Social Distortion has been doing it their way for over 40 years—fusing punk, rockabilly, blues, and outlaw country into a sound that's all their own. Led by frontman Mike Ness, the band has built a legacy on raw honesty, gritty storytelling, and relentless energy. From being invited onstage by Bruce Springsteen to charting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 with Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, they've turned personal trials into timeless anthems.
