Social Distortion has returned with their first album in 15 years. born to kill is led by a pair of singles and follows 2011’s Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, as the Orange County punk rock legends mark a significant comeback on their eighth studio album.
The album opens with the title track. “Born To Kill” is an anthem of an opener, designed to be listened to loud. Mike Ness sounds absolutely unstoppable as his no-frills but all-powerful guitar tone rips through the soundscape of the driving title track, supporting his signature, gravelly voice that still carries a venomous bite. “Born To Kill,” like most of what is to follow, stays true to what you would expect from Social Distortion; this is punk very much influenced by classic rockabilly. Despite this, and likely due to their peerless quality, Born To Kill feels immediately fresh – no one is making punk rock like this. This is further established on the melodic and ripping guitar solo on the following track, “No Way Out,” and the subsequent jangly stomper that is “The Way Things Were.” What makes the latter track so special is the ability for Ness and the band to capture such an emotional delivery, speaking to the genuine nature that resides at the core of the band’s work.
