Mommy's Little Monster is the debut studio album by American punk rock band Social Distortion, released in 1983 through their vanity label 13th Floor Records.^[10]^[11] The album is notably different in its tone and quality from the band's subsequent releases, featuring styles of traditional punk rock,^[7]^[8] both traditional hardcore and melodic hardcore,^[3]^[9] and pop-punk.^[7] This is Social Distortion's only studio album to feature bassist Brent Liles and drummer Derek O'Brien, both of whom were out of the band by early 1984 and would be replaced by John Maurer and Chris Reece respectively. The album received underground acclaim from punk rock fanzines,^[7]^[12] and it has been acknowledged as influential and inspirational to the then-burgeoning pop-punk and skate punk scenes.^[8]^[9]^[13]^[14]
