Social Distortion's third eponymous album from 1990 turned out to be their best-known work and would come to spawn the most hits, with singles "Ball And Chain", "Story Of My Life" and the Johnny Cash cover "Ring Of Fire". It mixed Punk with Rockabilly, Blues & Country, and split the difference between Rockabilly and Ramones-style Punk. This album strikes a chord with those seeking the roots of punk grunge rock heritage. Albums like this prove why Social Distortion was able to survive the demise of the LA Hardcore scene with flair and come out on top!
After more than four decades of performing, Social Distortion continues to tour and create new music, with their eighth studio album expected in 2026. To date, they have released seven full‑length studio albums, along with compilations, live recordings and video releases.
Social Distortion is available as a limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on red marble vinyl. The record is housed in a deluxe sleeve with linen laminate finish and includes an insert with lyrics.
