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.
Social Distortion - "Tonight"
Social Distortion didn't post a new video, but Born To Kill gives anyone catching up several different entry points: a John Swab-directed music video, a nostalgic lyric video and a cover of "Wicked Game."
Social Distortion - "Tonight" is the busiest of those videos right now, drawing more daily views than either of the other active selections. It has passed a million views. Mike Ness appears alongside Johnny Angel Rios-Ness and Trinity Noel, with a story credited to Christine Ness. Behind the recording, Ness shares production and mixing credits with D. Sardy.
Social Distortion - "The Way Things Were" (Lyric Video) is approaching its own million-view mark. Ness co-directed it with Josh Roush, who also edited it. The more recently posted Social Distortion - "Wicked Game" (Official Lyric Video) brings Chris Isaak's songwriting into the album's world. Covers have a familiar place in this band's catalog: their version of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" appeared on their self-titled 1990 album.
The channel added about 1,000 subscribers over the week. That was the same weekly subscriber gain as nearby rock channels Parkway Drive, Sleep Theory and Thrice, though Sleep Theory had a particularly busy viewing week. For Social Distortion, the useful catch-up route remains those three Born To Kill videos, with "Tonight" drawing the most daily attention.
