Social Distortion - Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes 2LPs

The Californian punk rock institution discovers its rock roots. - Social Distortion's

first release in 6 years!

The title of the Californian punk rockers' seventh studio album refers to Mike Ness' dual musical home. On "Hard Times And Nursery

Rhymes", Social Distortion's songwriter and singer pays homage to both the dark America of Hank Williams and the bluesy swagger of the Rolling Stones, for example during the "Exile-On-Mainstreet" era. Well-known influences that are brought to the forefront here: "Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes" is the band's most rocking and at the same time most soulful album, a group that has sold over four million albums worldwide. Nevertheless, fans will find the typical punk rock roar in every track: from the opener "California (Hustle and Flow)" to the dark, rocking Hank Williams cover "Alone and Forsaken". But Springsteen and Tom Petty fans should also like this sound. "Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes" is the band's first album since "Sex, Love And Rock 'n' Roll"

from 2004. For fans of Gaslight Anthem, Rancid, Bad Religion, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen and Tiger Army. The 2LP has two bonus tracks.
