SOCIAL DISTORTIONMICHAEL NESS, DENNIS DANELL, BRENT LILES, DEREK O'BRIEN

The enduring L.A. punk band Social Distortion has overcome numerous personnel shifts,
the demise of the Los Angeles hardcore scene that spawned them, and the heroin addiction
of singer/guitarist/bandleader Mike Ness to achieve a measure mainstream acceptance
for their rootsy, hard-hitting punk without compromise.
Inspired by the fertile L.A. punk scene, Ness formed the group in 1978 with drummer Casey Royer
and brothers Frank (bass) and Rikk Agnew (guitar). When the brothers left to join the Adolescents,
Ness' schoolmate Dennis Danell joined on bass; the next few years saw a revolving-door membership.
When the group finally recorded its debut album, Mommy's Little Monster in 1983,
the band consisted of Ness, Danell (now on guitar), bassist Brent Liles, and drummer Derek O'Brien.
Their music was often described as a punk version of the Rolling Stones,
and "Another State of Mind" was one of the few punk videos to air on MTV in 1984
"MOMMY'S LITTLE MONSTER"

One of the last original LA punk classics, released in 1983 when many bands had already quit or taken another musical direction.
Social Distortion stick to their sound, though, catchy, melodic and driving punk, well-played and tightly produced. This is a great album...(FLEX)
Seminal Orange County punk band Social Distortion's first full-length album Mommy's Little Monster is the epitome
of early-'80s suburban California punk and provided inspiration for many future Californians, including the Offspring and Rancid.
Mommy's Little Monster finds the band supplying plenty of attitude and aggression as they rip through nine tracks
worth of hard, fast, power chord-filled tracks loaded with snarling anti-establishment lyrics and themes
.As frontman Mike Ness matured as a songwriter the band went on to record stronger albums later in their career,
but Mommy's Little Monster is a fine document of the raw early stages of a great influential American punk band
that would go on to influence countless others in the future...(AllMusic)
