SUMMARY:Social Distortion
DESCRIPTION:The enduring L.A. punk band Social Distortion has overcome numerous personnel\nshifts\, the demise of the Los Angeles hardcore scene that spawned them\, and the\nheroin addiction of singer/guitarist/bandleader Mike Ness to achieve a measure\nmainstream acceptance for their rootsy\, hard-hitting punk without compromise. Inspired\nby the fertile L.A. punk scene\, Ness formed the group in 1978 with drummer Casey\nRoyer and brothers Frank (bass) and Rikk agnew (guitar). When the brothers left to join\nThe Adolescents\, Ness’ schoolmate Dennis Danell joined on bass; the next few years\nsaw a revolving-door membership. When the group finally recorded its debut album\,\nMommy's Little Monster in 1983\, the band consisted of Ness\, Danell (now on guitar)\,\nbassist Brent Liles\, and drummer Derek O'Brien. Their music was often described as a\npunk version of The Rolling Stones\, and "Another State of Mind" was one of the few\npunk videos to air on MTV in 1984. However\, the band took four years to record a\nfollow-up\, as Ness descended into heroin addiction and self-consciously rebellious\nbehavior. Liles and O'Brien left\, and Ness\, after straightening himself out\, finally\nregrouped in 1988 with John Maurer on bass and Chris Reece on drums. This lineup\nrecorded Prison Bound\, a mature album broadening Social Distortion's roots rock\ninfluences with a country feel. Their self-titled 1990 effort included a cover of Johnny\nCash's "Ring of Fire" and returned the group to MTV via "Ball and Chain.\n" Somewhere\nBetween Heaven and Hell became their most popular album to date\, producing a minor\nradio hit in "Bad Luck" and keeping with their now-established blend of punk\, blues\,\ncountry\, and rockabilly. Social Distortion took an extended hiatus following the release of\nSomewhere Between Heaven and Hell\, returning in 1996 with White Light\, White Heat\,\nWhite Trash\, which proved to be a moderate hit on MTV and modern-rock radio; former\nBlack Flag and D.O.A. drummer Chuck Biscuits made his debut on the album\, following\nthe departure of Reece. Live at the Roxy followed in 1998\, Ness and a year later issued\na pair of solo albums\, Cheating at Solitaire and the covers collection Under the\nInfluences. Danell died February 29\, 2000 of an apparent brain aneurysm; the guitarist\nwas just 38-years-old. In the fall of 2000\, Jonny Wickersham signed on as the group's\nnew guitarist\, and Charlie Quintana took over on drums from the often busy Biscuits.\nAfter extensive touring\, the band went back into the studio in 2004 to record Sex\, Love\nand Rock 'n' Roll. Another six years passed before Social D returned to recording.\nProduced by Mike Ness himself\, 2011's glossy-but-muscular Hard Times and Nursery\nRhymes featured a new lineup\, with bassist Brent Harding and the son of Los Lobos’\nDavid Hidalgo\, drummer David Hidalgo Jr. joining Wickersham and Ness.\n~ Steve Huey\,\nRovi\nDiese Show wird von Star FM präsentiert.
