Social Distortion – Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes [CD Review]
Review: Ben Hosking
 |
Social Distortion has managed to create an aura around themselves over the last three decades that has placed them into the realms of punk rock royalty. Perhaps it’s the ice cool, slicked hair, hotrodder image of Mike Ness but more likely it has more to do with the band’s uncanny knack for writing sweet, sweet country-infused, rockabilly punk rock.
It’s been a number of years between drinks for ‘Social Distortion. Their last album was 2004’s ‘Sex, Love and Rock’N’Roll’ – a stunning disc that no doubt left the guys wondering if they could ever top |
themselves. The extended pause could also be the result of Mike Ness’ various other distractions like the aforementioned custom cars and his other musical projects including the awesome countrified Mike Ness Band.

Following his sold out shows in the Sydney Festival 2009 and rocking the Lilyworld at the 2011 Big Day Out, Reggie Watts returns to Australia in April 2011 for some very special shows!
“Reggie Watts: Super comedian. Faster than a speeding punchline” Seattle Times
Reggie Watts began his career as a singer in various bands in the early 1990s. Then he started being himself. Crazy. Absurd. And the people laughed. They’re still laughing. In his unique sets, Reggie’s subjects range from ancient history, technology, magic, spirit elves, dragons, mythology and theology to pop culture. The music, exploiting a jaw dropping vocal range, incorporates hip-hop, tripͲhop, 80’s pop alternative, nu-metal and classical opera – no two songs are ever the same. Reggie loves to disorient and confuse people in the most entertaining way possible.

Amy Meredith tickets available exclusively through fans!
Sydney rockers Amy Meredith last week announced a new tour, and for the first week tickets are only available via fans.
Fans can go to POSSE and get a link that they can post out on Facebook, Tweet or email to friends. If friends click on the links to get tickets then they’ll be able to buy tickets a week before they go on sale to the general public. Plus the Posse member gets paid $2.50 for each ticket sold through their link!
Amy Meredith recognise that fans promoting to their friends on social networks is the most effective form of advertising they can get. They’re transferring the budget they used to allocate to poster advertising and offering it to fans instead.
Amy Meredith lead singer, Christian Lo Russo says: “There are so many ways to get a band’s profile bigger and the music to the masses. TV and Radio are two. But the best and most effective way is word of mouth. The fans are one of, if not the most important part of a band’s success. When your best friend is raving about something, you’re more likely to give it a go so in turn we always like to give something back to the fans.”
Fans sold a massive 40% of tickets to Amy Meredith’s tour in late 2010, which meant the band were able to sell out multiple nights at the same venue. This time they’re sweetening the offer by holding private sound-check parties for every fan who sells four tickets to a show.
To promote Amy Meredith’s exclusive pre-sale, Join Posse Here, then search for Amy Meredith show.
This week on Posse you can also earn $5 promoting Future Music Festival, $4 promoting Creamfields, $3 promoting Groovin’ the Moo, $5 promoting MS Fest, $8 promoting Supafest and many more!
