Southern California's punk underground has always had a restless, self-reinventing streak, and The Bronx have embodied that spirit since their formation in 2002. The years spent doubling as Mariachi El Bronx clearly sharpened something in their songwriting, bringing a melodic tension to the attack that makes this fifth self-titled installment hit differently than the raw fury of their early work. V, the 5th album by LA punk band The Bronx, was produced by Rob Schnapf (Elliott Smith, Beck, FIDLAR), and follows the bands alter-ego's 2014 album Mariachi El Bronx III. Guitarist Joby Ford says of V: 'It has the angst and social commentary that has characterized us 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.' If it sounds like they've grown up, fear not - Bronx V is every bit as ferocious and hard-hitting as previous albums, and filled with enough aggression to demolish a small house. Tracklist 1.
