Social Distortion “Born To Kill” Listening / Release Party! 5/7/2026

Thursday May 7th at 6:00PM we’ll be hosting a release/listening party for the brand-new Social Distortion album “Born to Kill”.

The goodies!:
-We will have a Limited Edition 7” featuring “Born To Kill” and “Tonight” available as a gift with purchase of the vinyl of “Born to Kill”, while supplies last
– Free Social Distortion bumper stickers & posters for attendees (while supplies last)

We will also be raffling off a 12 x 12 album cover signed by the band

How to get in:
Entry will be first come first served. We will get everyone to lineup outside the store prior to event start. At around 5:45pm, we will let everyone into the shop, then start playing the album at 6:00. The event is free and all ages (as always). The album will be for sale at the event.

People always ask “when should I line up?” and the answer is…we don’t know! So far, we have only had to turn people away from one of our listening events, but arriving semi-early is still recommended to be safe. We never know how many goodies we are getting until right before the event, so if that’s what you’re after, early arrival is encouraged!

‘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 fury, joy and catharsis, all imbued with the signature blend of defiance and world weariness that has made Ness a poet and sage to the dispossessed for more than 40 years. Co-produced by Ness and Dave Sardy, and featuring guest appearances from Benmont Tench of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and Lucinda Williams, and collaborative cover art by Ness and Shepard Fairey, Born To Kill is the latest installment in a remarkable catalog that spans nearly three generations.
