The focus on the alternative rock scene helped bring attention to Social Distortion. The singles "Story of My Life" and "Ball and Chain" were able to find an audience on alternative rock radio and on MTV. Social Distortion was one of the band's most successful albums to date, and their first to enter the Billboard 200; the release peaked at number 128. The album has been certified gold by the RIAA in the United States. By 1996, Social Distortion had sold at least 250,000 copies, becoming the band's second best-selling album in the United States (their next album Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell sold 296,000 copies).
Social Distortion went on a temporary hiatus in the mid-1980s, due to frontman Ness' drug addiction and troubles with the law which resulted in extended stints in various rehabilitation centers that lasted for two years. Since its inception, the band lineup has been a virtual revolving-door of talent with many members coming and going – Ness has been the only constant member. After 38 years of performing, Social Distortion continues to tour and record music.
To date, Social Distortion has released seven full-length studio albums, two compilations, one live album, and two DVDs. They released two albums — Mommy's Little Monster (1983) and Prison Bound (1988) — before signing a three-album contract with Epic Records in 1989. Social Distortion rose to fame with their 1990 self-titled third album, which produced their well-known hit singles "Ball and Chain", "Story of My Life", and the cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire", and was certified gold by RIAA. Many of their later albums, including their second gold recordSomewhere Between Heaven and Hell (1992), were also well received. They are considered one of the best-selling punk rock bands, with more than three million albums sold worldwide.

Lyrics:
High school seemed like such a blur,
I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections.
And in class I dreamed all day,
Of a rock 'n' roll weekend
And the girl in the front of the room,
So close yet so far y'know she never seemed to notice
That this silly schoolboy crush
Wasn't just pretend.
Life goes by so fast
You only want to do what you think is right.
Close your eyes and then it's past;
Story of my life

Social Distortion will perform five concerts this month at the Observatory North Park in San Diego... Social Distortion fans, you’ve got no excuses ... Take it from another fan — me — who’s seen Social D.
The opening to their show, for instance, was the distorted synth intro of “FavoriteFood” from their 2010 album “Champ” — a Broken Social Scene-esque sonic blanket over the crowd ... album.Advertisement.
And speaking of old hat, Social Distortion will be performing its album Mommy’s Little Monster in it entirety, a “belated” anniversary celebration of its 1983 release.
Two double albums take us from the start to the finish, musically ... The CompleteStudio Albums (Rhino/Atco) ... Social Distortion ... Yet another album that is celebrating its 40th anniversary is Social D’s debut ... The other two are live albums.
Imagine you sent a time traveler back to 1983 to retrieve the biggest, most influential album of the year ... But 1983 as a whole was a particularly rich year for influential albums ... Social Distortion's debut album "Mommy's Little Monster.".
