Social Distortion Stream New Song 'Partners In Crime'

(NLM) Punk rock icons Social Distortion has unleashed "Partners In Crime," the second advance taste of its long-awaited eighth album, Born To Kill. An unabashed and anthemic celebration of a lifetime dedicated to rock 'n' roll, "Partners In Crime" can be heard alongside the album's previously unveiled title track.

"'Partners In Crime' is about finding your voice, especially if you weren't allowed or if it didn't matter," says Social Distortion founder Mike Ness. "And finding comfort in others who share the same sentiment, angst and rage. Strength in unity."

Set for release May 8 via Epitaph, 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.
