THE BRONX IN CONCERT:
The Bronx always deliver an adrenaline-fueled punk rock throwdown on tour with their hardcore anthems and unfiltered passion. Singer Matt Caughtran embodies the group’s energetic spirit in concert, bringing his vocal cord-shredding pandemonium off the stage and into the audience as he sings from the center of the mosh pit. As he blurs the line between performer and fan, the rest of the band keeps pace with rapid-fire guitar chords, distortion cranked to the max, and breakneck rhythms that push the band's songs into overdrive. The Bronx are sure to kick up a stage-diving, slam-dancing mosh pit on punk rock rallying cries like “Six Days a Week”, “Too Many Devils”, and “Heart Attack American”, and ticket buyers are more than happy to join in on the mayhem.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Los Angeles hardcore quintet The Bronx rose to notoriety quickly, signing a record contract with Island Def Jam in 2002 after only 12 live performances. Instead of navigating major label expectations, however, the band opted to hone their craft by independently releasing their 2003 self-titled debut. After their early music videos caught on with hardcore fans, they went back to Island for the 2006 release of their second self-titled album. A third self-titled album followed a couple years later, and in 2009 they premiered Mariachi El Bronx, a mariachi counterpart to their hardcore punk sound. The group also collaborated with Schoolly D in 2012 to produce the theme song for the Adult Swim show Aqua Something You Know Whatever. Whether they’re playing as The Bronx or Mariachi El Bronx, fans know to expect a high energy show — but can’t predict what will happen when these high-octane hardcore masters take the stage.
