With the debut MOMMY'S LITTLE MONSTER, Social Distortion emerged as one
of the most interesting early-'80s Calpunk bands, mixing punk
aggression with crafty songwriting and a rootsy influence.
Singer/songwriter Mike Ness's well-publicized drug problems put the
group out of commission for a while, but after a six-year wait the band
followed MONSTER with the explosive PRISON BOUND. The album's lyrics
are full of the wisdom and pain of Ness's travails. "Prison Bound,"
"Lawless," and others set the tone for much of the group's future work
with a mixture of outlaw bravado and former-badboy regret. "Like an
Outlaw" and the Stones' "Backstreet Girl" marked the beginning of the
group's flirtation with country and roots-rock, which would become more
prevalent in future releases.
