ATP! Album Review: The Bronx – IV

It would be tempting to think that punk and mariachi are separate entities, but The Bronx have proven their musical flexibility in the past by producing three albums of the former genre and two albums of the latter. Their fourth punk effort sees Matt Caughthran and the gang that aren’t actually from the Bronx tackle their flagship genre once more.

The sound of The Bronx is undeniably fun, and first track ‘The Unholy Hand’ introduces that perfectly in every instrument - from the guitars shooting out riffs that warrant an instant grin to the vocals that mash catchiness and gravel in a way that can just do no wrong. In fact, there’s a lot about The Bronx that calls back to the grunge movement of Nirvana and The Pixies; ‘Too Many Devils’ for example, sounds like it could have been taken from In Utero. This takes nothing away from the music however, it’s powerful, it has a killer hook and from start to finish it’s captivating as all hell.

El Bronx Update

The Bronx's Mariachi alter ego El Bronx have given update.

"The records been done for a while now, hopefully it's gonna come out in like early or mid summer. It's a really really important record; it's the best thing I've ever done. It's all original music, traditional mariachi stuff, and it's the punkest thing in the world for a band like The Bronx to put out a record like that. I think the first El Bronx tour when the record comes out is going to be El Bronx and the Hold Steady. It a whole different outlet – we can go tour with band The Bronx couldn't go on tour with."
