Good ol' Social D! The band that has been alive and kicking it for almost 40 years since being formed by Mike Ness in 1978 and shows no sign of stopping. Last time I had the privelege of standing in the pit at their show, they played for a solid 2 hours and it was pure bliss. All of Social Distortion's songs are written and sung by Ness. There is a common theme in most of his lyrics about "impulsiveness, its consequences and the hard struggle for maturity." Rest assured. this band has a little something for everyone. It's one part country, one part blues, one part punk rock, and 100% habit inducing!
To date, Social Distortion has released seven full-length studio albums, two compilations, one live album, and two DVDs.rose to fame with their 1990 self-titled third album, which produced 3 well-known hit singles and was certified gold by the RIAA. Many of their later albums, including their second gold record, "Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell" were also well received. They are considered one of the best-selling punk rock bands, with more than three million albums sold worldwide and this is due in great part to their ability to transcend genres and just concentrate on making good music. For this puzzle you will only be using the studio albums! No best of's or compilations apply so keep that in mind. Except, maybe on "F", I just love that song too much not to find a way to include it.

N 42 AB.CDE
W 077 F.GHI
To figure out the coordinates you must take the Social Distortion lyric that I find influental and figure out which song it derives from. Then simply take that song's track number on whatever album it appears on. Once that is done, simply replace the corresponding letter with that number. It may sound hard at first but I assure it can be done with a few simple web searches. I hope you get to experience the band for yourself in the meantime and give them a listen. You may just end up a life long fan like me.....
NORTH
A= "Well, I'm goin' to a place where the tough guys go, and come out even tougher. A place where a man don't show his feelings. A place where a man don't cry"
B= "I'm public enemy #1. I'm sorry for all the things that I've done. If indeed we do cross paths, it's nothing personal."
C= "It was me against the world. I was sure that I'd win. But the world fought back, punished me for my sins. And they tried to warn me of my evil ways, but I couldn't hear what they had to say."
D= "When I was young I was invincible. I find myself now thinking twice. I never thought about no future, its just the roll of the dice.
E= "Hitch a ride on the wild side. It's real hell on wheels. There's gonna be a fight tonight, I know."
WEST
F= "You shake my hand while you're pissing on my leg. I'm cutting you loose, I don't need this misery. Your soul is toxic and you ain't no friend of mine. No!"
G= "There's gotta be a heaven, cause I've already done my time in hell. And a little baby's born when it all comes down."
H= "Well round and round she goes. Where she'll stop nobody knows.
Y'know that woman put a spell on me. But if you start me, start me, start me, you can't stop me, stop me, stop me."
I= "High school seemed like such a blur. I didn't have much interest in sports or school elections. And in class I dreamed all day of a rock 'n' roll weekend."
That's it! Good luck! Feel free to message me with any questions. A hint on the hide itself is given with verified coordinates. Hope you enjoyed the sweet sounds of Social Distortion.
