Over the past four decades Social Distortion have all bu trademarked their sound, a brand of hard rockabilly and punk that's cut with frontman Mike Ness. Their searing guitars and locomotive rhythm sectionsound as alive today as they did in the beginning. And it all started here with the seminal 1983 debut. This album was recorded in a single session after Mike Ness' participation in the 1982 punk documentary Another State of Mind.
