Social Distortion’s Spring Trip

Springtime is shaping up to be a great time for Social Distortion fans as the band lays down a new routing with stops ranging from New Mexico to Maryland, Wisconsin to Texas.

So far, 2011 has been very good to Social D. The band released its first new album of new material in six years, Hard Times & Nursery Rhymes, and already it’s being touted as being “on the verge” of the group’s “highest charting album to date.” That’s no small accomplishment when you consider the band has been around since Jimmy Carter lived in the White House.
