The frontman of SoCal punk mainstays Social Distortion, Mike Ness was born in Stoneham, MA, on April 3, 1962, but was raised in Orange County, where his band got their start in Fullerton in 1978. Ness, a trouble child, was on his own at the age of 15, began heavily using drugs, and would end up spending time in jail while Social Distortion was becoming a force on the punk scene, nearly leading to the group's demise in 1985.

Ness kicked his drug habits and his straightened his life out by 1988, in time for Social Distortion's second release, Prison Bound. The band put out three more albums in the next eight years, and then Ness released his first album of solo material in 1999, Cheating at Solitaire, giving Ness a platform to dive deeper into his large range of influences. The album featured guest spots from Bruce Springsteen and Brian Setzer, among others.

Later in 1999, Ness went all-out in paying tribute to his heroes, releasing the covers album Under the Influences.
