Thank f***ing god for the Bronx.
In a tirelessly repetitive age of rock where nearly every bands’ value system holds songwriting, tight-legged pants, and blog devotion at the same level – The Bronx remind us of how an aggressive, yet catchy rock song done right is still capable of making the hair stand up on the back of our necks. As easy and simple as it seems, it’s nearly impossible to find a band in 2008 that makes truly exciting rock that is rooted in passion and intelligence, which is why The Bronx need to be held in the high regard they deserve.
Is it punk, or hard rock, or alternative?
Who in the hell knows and does anyone really even give a rat’s ass?.
The important thing is that the band is working on finishing up their third full length album with legendary producer Dave Schiffman (Mars Volta, System of A Down, Rage Against the Machine), and that the album will hit stores this November.
The Bronx (III) will continue the band's tradition of creating blistering, white-hot rock that kicks you in the loins to make you move, and slaps you in the head to make you think.
The lead track, "Knifeman" can be heard on the band’s Myspace page (myspace.com/thebronx) and was selected by the Warped Tour and Myspace to be the first featured ‘Download of the Week’ in support of the tour’s launch in June.
The Bronx will finish up their headlining slot on the Vans Warped Tour August 17th, and will then head out on the road again in the fall on separate tours with Bad Religonand Every Time I Die in support of the new studio album. Do your rock soul some good, and experience The Bronx on every level you possibly can as this is the one band that brings both the diamond and the rough……..in all its glory!
