The Bronx announce new album ‘Bronx VI

THE BRONX have announced a new album!

Titled Bronx VI, the upcoming album from the Los Angeles-based hardcore punk band is their sixth full-length album and is scheduled to be released in August this year, via Cooking Vinyl.

“I’m excited,” says guitarist Joby Ford. “From day one we really decided that we wanted to make a record that went in different directions and places. The thing I like a lot about it is that everybody contributed songs. It’s not just Joby J. Ford guitars with Matt singing over it. I loved listening to what other people wrote, and I think those differences and nuances really come through.”

“We’ve known each other for a long time,” adds vocalist Matt Caughthran. “And we’re such good friends and we’re so tight creatively, but we’re still learning stuff about each other, especially when it comes to the process of creating an album. Brad and Ken are just coming out as songwriters and we’re learning to write songs as a group around ideas they bring to the table. This is a really important record for us growth-wise because it kicked down a lot of doors that needed to be kicked down. I feel like now going forward the sky is the limit.”

The upcoming album was produced by Joe Baressi [TOOL, MELVINS, BAD RELIGION] at his House of Compression studio in Pasadena, Calif. Baressi is someone the band had wanted to work with for many years. “We’d been talking about doing a record together since 2005,” explains Joby, “and it finally aligned schedule wise.” Matt adds, “he was just the perfect guy for this record. We went in feeling really good about all the songs, and we just needed someone to make them sound fucking badass and take it to the next level. That was definitely Joe.”

Alongside the announcement of the new album, THE BRONX have released a new song from the upcoming album; White Shadow. Describing the track, Caughthran says it is “a song about spiralling. Wild eyed guitars, drums, and bass mixed with a high speed chase and a frantic mind unravelling. CLASSIC FUCKING BRONX.”
