Social Distortion front man Mike Ness has mentioned in a recent interview that the band is already working on material for their next album, trying to avoid having such a huge gap in between releases again. 

Social Distortion front man Mike Ness has mentioned in a recent interview that the band is already working on material for their next album, trying to avoid having such a huge gap in between releases again.


Ness said:


"I wanted to bring a lot of diversity into this record by opening up parts of my musical past that haven't always been prevalent. It's kind of exciting. Although this record is out, I'm going to continue the process of writing so maybe there won't be such a large gap between records. Even when the record's done, it doesn't mean the creativity of writing is."


The band's new album "Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes" is out now through Epitaph Records.


Social Distortion will finally be making to Australia at the end of this month as a part of the Soundwave Festival, as well as playing with The Bronx in Sydney, and The Gaslight Anthem in Melbourne.
