\"\"<\/a>Southern California rock \u2018n\u2019 roll heroes\u00a0Social Distortion<\/strong>\u00a0have debuted a brand new video on\u00a0Rollingstone.com<\/a>\u00a0for their song \u201cGimme The Sweet And Lowdown\u201d from their latest album,\u00a0Hard Times And Nursery Rhymes<\/strong><\/em>.<\/strong>\u00a0The animated video was created by Olya & Vira Ishchuk (known as “The Mad Twins”) and loosely celebrates the life of front \u2013man Mike Ness.<\/p>\n

To watch the new video, please go to Rolling\u00a0Stone.com<\/a>\u00a0or go here:\u00a0http:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/videos\/premiere-social-distortion-get-personal-in-gimme-the-sweet-and-lowdown-20120730<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWorking with Olya & Vira Ishchuk (known as “The Mad Twins”) was a great experience,\u201d Mike Ness told Rolling Stone. \u201cI mean, to not give any direction whatsoever and have an incredible video delivered to you speaks volumes. Olya & Vira created this animated piece on their own time as a gift to us, and they nailed it \u2013 we didn’t change a thing. Being able to capture the true essence of the song without our input shows The Mad Twins’ artistry, and how talented they truly are. When I was writing “Gimme the Sweet and Lowdown,” the idea behind it was a lifestyle gone wrong due to making really bad life decisions. I never intended for it to be autobiographical, but now with this visual, I realize that it actually is more about me than it seemed when I wrote it.”<\/p>\n

Since their formation in 1979 in the working class Southern California suburb of Fullerton, Social Distortion have a recharged rock \u2018n\u2019 roll sound merging outlaw country, classic punk and swaggering blues. The band\u2019s latest release\u00a0Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0has been rousing success with critics and fans alike.<\/p>\n
