Social Distortion
Say what you will about the band’s music, but there’s something impressive about the fact that three decades after its formation, Social Distortion continues to sell out venues across America. Leader Mike Ness’ popularity didn’t come easy, though: Since forming the roots-meets-hardcore outfit in the late ’70s, the singer-guitarist has weathered everything from drug addiction to a loss of musical focus, although he’s managed to maintain a readily identifiable style all these years. In the late '90s, Ness went it alone for a couple of solo releases that celebrate his longtime love for the grittier end of country and rockabilly. He returned to Social D for 2004's Sex, Love And Rock 'N' Roll, followed (naturally) by a greatest-hits disc. A new album is slated for 2010.
