Social Distortion

In a recent interview with Spinner, Mike Ness of Social Distortion discussed the sonic direction the band's new album is taking:



"I have a lot of writing [to do], as far as lyrics go, but we're really happy with the direction that this record is taking, the sound of it. We're recording it really old-school. We went back to tape, old compressors and old microphones, just really trying to fight modern technology as much as possible." ... It's funny -- the record reminds me very much of [1992's] 'Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell,' but also I'm bringing elements of early New York '70s punk, influences that maybe haven't come out as prominently in my writing in the past. ... It's a little more Johnny Thunders. Some of the early first wave of punk was very blues-based rock 'n' roll, but it had this urban snottiness to it. ... So, the record, to me, is almost like the Dead Boys meets the Black Crowes or something."



The record is expected later this year. Once out, it'll be the band's first since 2004's Sex, Love and Rock 'n' Roll.
