Orange County’s finest are back with a vengeance: Social Distortion’s long-awaited eighth album, Born To Kill, will be released May 8, 2026 via Epitaph Records.
Born To Kill is more than the conclusion to a 15-year wait between Social Distortion albums, it’s a revelation: 11 songs of pure, unadulterated rock ’n’ roll fury, joy and catharsis, all imbued with the signature blend of defiance and world-weariness that has made founder Mike Ness a poet and sage to the dispossessed for more than 40 years.
