The Bronx Artist Snapshot:

While their name misleadingly points to New York origins, Matt Caughthran (vocals), Joby J. Ford (guitar), James Tweedy (bass), Jorma Vik (drums) and Ken Horne (guitar) actually formed the punk-cum-early-glam-metal hybrid the Bronx in Los Angeles circa 2002. After putting out demos on their own White Drugs label, they were almost immediately signed to a major label contract with Island Records. Over the next several years, the Bronx released three self-titled albums, produced by such luminaries as ex-Guns N' Roses guitarist Gilby Clarke and Soundgarden/Hole engineer Michael Beinhorn. In that same span of time, the group canvassed the country, touring with peers such as the Riverboat Gamblers and Priestess.

Review

Spin (10/03, p.110) - "...A fine young maximum-punk outfit who, like Hot Snakes, get their ecstatic tempos from garage rock and their noisy edge from hardcore..." - Grade: B+
Q (4/04, p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 - "[T]he most articulate and exciting 30-odd minutes of punk rock so far this decade. Inspirational stuff."
CMJ (8/11/03, p.7) - "...Such an intense post-punk hardcore experience, it may very well rip holes through your stereo speakers..."
Mojo (Publisher) (3/04, p.107) - 4 stars out of 5 - "It's a dizzyingly potent distillation of punk that's punching easily above its weight."

Actually, they're from Los Angeles. But other than the geographical confusion, there are few missteps on the self-titled major-label debut from neo-hardcore band the Bronx. While their first album (also entitled THE BRONX, and produced by Guns N' Roses' Gilby Clarke) was punk in the vein of the MC5 and Stooges, this disc is more varied. The band was joined by uber-producer Michael Beinhorn, and recorded live in the studio to preserve a rougher, more authentic sound.

What holds THE BRONX together is singer Matt Caughthran's gravelly shouted vocals and a stellar rhythm section. The songs go from the pounding "Small Stone" to the more melodic "Oceans of Class" and "Dirty Leaves." "White Guilt," on which Gilby Clarke guests, is laid-back guitar rock that has a slight country tinge to it. But that track, while excellent, is an anomaly on an album of powerful, original rock.
