Awful Din gives a punk classic an upbeat emo transformation with “Ball and Chain”

Awful Din’s “Ball and Chain” puts an upbeat emo spin on Social Distortion’s track, paying homage to the influence that helped birth the project. The collaboration with Dying Scene and Coffin Curse Records adds a punk cultural connection to the release. “Ball and Chain” thus acts as both a tribute and a reimagining, giving listeners a chance to hear a well-known punk classic through the lens of Awful Din’s upbeat emo self-identity and sensibility.
