Social Distortion
About This Event
Social Distortion brings its punk-rooted rock—folding rockabilly, blues and country inflections into hard-driving songcraft—to Brooklyn Paramount, favoring momentum and grit over spectacle. On the same bill are Descendents, whose melodic hardcore and surf-leaning speed centers on Milo Aukerman and a stable mid-1980s lineup, and Australia's The Chats, a "shed rock" trio of blunt, fast songs.

The Chats
The Chats are an Australian punk trio formed in 2016 on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast, anchored by vocalist/bassist Eamon Sandwith with guitarist Josh Hardy and drummer Matt Boggis. They frame their stripped-back sound as “shed rock,” with songs that document everyday Australian routines and rough humor.
