Bronx - (V)

2017 release, the fifth album by the Los Angeles-based hardcore punk band. The album was produced by Rob Schnapf. Vocalist Matt Caughthran is joined in the lineup by guitarists Joby J. Ford and Ken Horne, bassist Brad Magers and new drummer David Hidalgo Jr, who replaced Jorma Vik last year. Ford says of the album: "It has the angst and social commentary that has characterized The Bronx from the beginning - only now the angst is aimed at more than just superficial things and the social commentary is directed at more than just people who like different music than us." The Bronx formed in 2002. They have released four eponymous rock albums, and three additional albums of mariachi music under the alter ego Mariachi El Bronx.
