I Was Wrong

Certain Songs #2328: Social Distortion – “I Was Wrong”

March 28, 2022 by Jim Connelly

Album: White Light White Heat White Trash
Year: 1996

. . .

After releasing three albums between 1988 and 1992, Social Distortion took four years to come out with 1996’s hideously covered White Light White Heat White Trash, their final album to feature Dennis Darnell on rhythm guitar, and an album where they toned down the cow and focused on the punk.

And, of course, 1996 was a good year for this, as punk rock — California punk rock — was having a bit of a day in the sun in the wake of the massive success of Green Day. If you turned on any kind of rock-leaning radio station in the mid-90s you’d hear songs by the Offspring, Bad Religion, Rancid and others. And so, Mike Ness consciously decided to go back to his early O.C. life days.

Certain Songs #2250: Sloan – “I Was Wrong”

Album: Action Pact
Year: 2003

. . .

Back in 1993, because of some decent reviews, I went out and bought Sloan’s debut album, Smeared, and probably because of the production values, was underwhelmed.

And so I promptly ignored them for probably 10, maybe 15 years, by which time they’d built up a pretty strong discography of power-pop albums. This is what happens sometimes, kids: you get a bad impression of a really good band, and it’s only much later you realize just how wrong you were.
