Shortly thereafter, stories circulated in the trades about the band replying in Morse Code to dozens of inquiring record labels. Did they? Probably.

There was the story a record executive receiving a rock in the mail after sending The Bronx an email that read "send me the rock!" True Story? Possibly.

Since then, The Bronx were featured as one of Rolling Stone's 10 Bands To Watch in 2003 and have shared a stage with Social Distortion, Rocket From The Crypt, Turbonegro, Hot Hot Heat, The Explosion, Supersuckers, Duane Peters, Hank Williams III and are currently on tour with The Circle Jerks and GBH.

The Bronx debut self-titled full length was recorded in a live setting with Gilby Clarke (Guns n' Roses) - with the exception of 3 tracks. Equipment was set up in a room, large pieces of foam were placed between the amplifiers and drum kit to keep the different instruments from bleeding together, some mics were stood up and someone pressed record. They didn't even use headphones.

While strictly adhering to the 3 take rule, there are mistakes, off notes, miss-hits, and out of tune instruments. Most people would call that a poor recording. The Bronx call it music, the way music is actually played. The way it sounds live is the way it is going to be heard. This album was made
at peoples houses at weird hours of the night on loads of uppers, cigarettes and coffee.
