Social Distortion's lyric video takes the haunted-house route

Mike Ness and Josh Roush direct a vintage-horror collage for "Never Goin' Back Again," from Born To Kill.

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Motorcycle wall-of-death stunts, animated skeletons and lurid pulp covers make "Never Goin' Back Again" something more restless than words on a screen. Social Distortion's official lyric video cuts between vintage daredevils and horror imagery, eventually heading down a haunted-house hallway toward a closing door.

Directed by Mike Ness and Josh Roush, with Roush also editing, it arrived just before this upload-free week. It is now the channel's busiest video by daily views, with roughly 83,000 views in total. Ness wrote the song and shares production and mixing credits with D. Sardy, tying the scratchy-looking visual world to the band's Born To Kill material.

That album supplies all three uploads carrying the most momentum right now. "Tonight," directed by John Swab and featuring Ness, Johnny Angel Rios-Ness and Trinity Noel, follows the lyric video in daily viewing. "The Way Things Were" comes next, its lyric-video format offering a less monster-filled route into the same record. Both have passed a million views.

The channel added about a thousand subscribers over the week despite posting nothing new. Among nearby rock channels, that matches the weekly increase for Parkway Drive and Bad Religion; Sleep Theory had a larger subscriber gain, while Death Cab for Cutie's count was unchanged. For Social Distortion, the week's most active corner is the one filled with skeletons, racing crashes and retro nightmare title cards.
