Social Distortion, formed in L.A. by Mike Ness in 1978, overcame challenges to blend punk with blues, country, and rockabilly. Known for hits like "Ball and Chain," they gained MTV fame and success with albums like "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell." Members included Dennis Danell, John Maurer, and Chuck Biscuits. Their popular cover of "Ring of Fire" and Ness's solo work bolstered their legacy.
