The Social Ills began in 2005 with Joe Sherwood and Dave Bailey jamming in Joe's garage to old Ramones, Dead Kennedys, and Misfits tunes. They both shared an interest in creating a hardcore punk rock band and thus, The Social Ills were born. For a year The Social Ills hit the Humboldt scene with a vengence. Over time, the original line-up went through many changes, but with the addition of Brian Kelly in November of 2007, The Social Ills found the right combination. Now as a punk rock three-piece, The Social Ills bring their hardcore punk music to the masses!
