Social Distortion

Add Date: February 8 

Artist: Social Distortion 

Album: Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes 

Label: Epitaph

Genre: Rock 

Comments: Social Distortion are back with Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, their seventh studio album. While the classic SoCal punk roots are still noticeable, this record plays up the melodic aspects of SxDx's sound, and also carries some heavy Southern rock influences (particularly on the second track, "California (Hustle and Flow)", which could easily have been a Black Crowes release). Overall, it's definitely a matured sound--but what else would you expect when Mike Ness has been fronting the group since the late 1970s? Try tracks 2 and 3.
