 Social Distortion (often known as Social D or SxDx) is an influential punk rock band, formed in 1978 by frontman Mike Ness. They are (along with Minor Threat, Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Bad Religion, and many others) often credited as one of the leading bands of the 1980s' punk revival.
The band has remained silent three times and once broke up in 1985, due to frontman Ness' drug addiction. However, they reformed around 1987 and have continued being active today, especially after longtime guitarist Dennis Danell passed away from brain aneurysm in 2000. Since their inception the band lineup has been a virtual revolving-door of talent, with many members coming and going; however, Ness has remained.
So far, Social Distortion released six full-length studio albums, one compilation, one live album and two DVDs. Their last album, Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll, came out on September 28, 2004 and is their first release with current guitarist Jonny "2 Bags" Wickersham, who is Danell's replacement. The band recently made plans to return to the studio to record their seventh album, which is due for release sometime in 2007. There has also been some talk of an upcoming greatest hits compilation album.Links Social Distortion, muslib.ru (рус.)Version Wed, 28 Feb 2007 10:31:48 +0300
