Social Distortion - Social Distortion

Style: Punk, New Wave.
Similar Artists: The Stranglers, Dead Kennedys.
Recording year: 1990, Epic.

With Prison Bound, Social Distortion began to metamorphasize from a rather ordinary L.A. hardcore band into a roots rock band willing to make with more than their share of the attitude, and this process continued on their self-titled third album (which was also their major-label debut).

Musically, Mike Ness and company had learned to split the difference between rockabilly and Ramones-style punk, not unlike fellow L.A. vets X, and if Ness couldn't sing or write with the skill or the resonance of John Doe, "Story of My Life" and "It Coulda Been Me" sound a lot more personal and deeply felt than anything on Mommy's Little Monster, and "Ball and Chain" and "So Far Away" prove he could crank out a respectable honky tonk number if he put his mind to it.

Thanks to Epic's sponsorship, the group had more time and money at their disposal for Social Distortion than on their previous albums, and producer Dave Jerden made the most of it; Mike Ness and Dennis Danell's guitars sound lean, sharp, and powerful; Ness's vocals are better controlled than ever before; and Christopher Reece's drums have a tight snap that suits both the thrashier numbers as well as the slower, blusier tunes.

Fields Of Haze... Underground for all.

The Damned es un grupo de Punk y más tarde de Rock Gótico formado en Londres en 1976.

Fueron la primer banda punk inglesa en lanzar un sencillo (New Rose), sacar un álbum (Damned, Damned, Damned), y recorrer los Estados Unidos. La música de sus comienzos (más o menos entre 1976 y 1980) y en especial el estilo de batería de Rat Scabies fueron una gran influencia para la creación del Hardcore punk en los Estados Unidos. The Damned han sido considerados también como unos de los fundadores del rock gótico.

El grupo se ha separado y reagrupado muchas veces y sólo el vocalista Dave Vanian se ha mantenido constante en cada alineación. Sin embargo, las alineaciones siempre han incluido o bien al guitarrista Captain Sensible o bien al baterista Rat Scabies.

En esta ocasión FOH te presenta dos de sus álbumes más representativos de ambas épocas, su primer disco de 1977 -Damned, Damned, Damned- grabado en la disquera 'Stiff Records' y Phantasmagoria de su época Gótica, que lo disfrutes.

The Damned is a Punk group and later a Gothic Rock band formed in London in 1976.

They were the first English punk band to record a single (New Rose), record an album (Damned, Damned, Damned), and travel to the United States to promote it. The music of their beginnings (more or less between 1976 and 1980) and the style of drummer - Rat Scabies- was a great influence for the creation of the Hardcore punk in the United States. The Damned has also been considered like one of the founders of the gothic rock movement.

The group has separated and often regrouped, only the singer Dave Vanian has stayed constant in each alignment. Nevertheless, the alignments has always including either to guitarrist Captain Sensible or the drummer Rat Scabies.

In this occasion FOH presented two of its more representative albums of both times, its first album of 1977 with punk style, - Damned, Damned, Damned- recorded with ' Stiff Records' and Phantasmagoria of its Gothic era. Hope that you like them.

Versión extendida del disco Black Market Clash EP de 1980, 'Super Black Market Clash' incluye sencillos y remixes a la grabación original. Realizado como un EP de 10", une eficazmente a los álbumes -London Calling- y -Sandinista-, tanto literal como figurativamente. La mayor parte del disco es espléndido, presentando algunas canciones esplédidas pero poco tomadas en cuenta, como lo son -The Prisoner-, -Gates of the west- y -Capital Radio-.
