Bronx Bronx Vi CD

Bronx VI builds on the legacy The Bronx has established in it's near two-decade existence, but which definitely proves the door to what's next has not just been kicked down, but chopped up and burned to a cinder. Yes, the first four tracks - "White Shadow", "Superbloom", "Watering The Well" and "Curb Feelers" - bristles with the wild and untamed energy that's defined the band from the off, but then - all of a sudden, as "Peace Pipe" kicks in - the pace and mood shifts to something a little less aggressive. Elsewhere, "Mexican Summer" and it's (relatively) chilled-out mariachi vibes serve as an homage to the band's alter-ego, Mariachi El Bronx (and was written while that incarnation of the band was on tour), while fatalistic closer "Participation Trophy" masks the Caughthran's existential dread behind searing riffs and a catchy, defiant and exuberant melody. The lineup now features drummer Joey Castillo (Queens Of The Stone Age / Danzig).
