Social Distortion Album Listening Party

Dictator Records will host an in-store album listening party for Social Distortion’s highly anticipated new release, Born To Kill, on Friday, May 8, 2026, from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. The event at 1008 Westside Drive, Greensboro, will offer fans an early chance to hear the album in full, pick up limited-edition vinyl, and enjoy exclusive giveaways while supplies last.

The listening party will feature a special promotion: customers who purchase Born To Kill at the event will receive a limited-edition 7" record featuring the tracks “Born To Kill” and “Tonight” at no extra cost. Additional exclusive giveaways will be available throughout the evening for attendees.

“Social Distortion has long been a defining voice in punk rock, and Born To Kill is a powerful continuation of that legacy,” said Seneca, manager of Dictator Records. “We’re thrilled to bring this release to Greensboro with a listening experience that celebrates the band and connects fans to something tangible — great music and a limited-edition vinyl they can take home.”
