Our bro-bros at BITPOM have posted pictures from the MetalSucks co-sponsored CMJ showcase this past Tuesday night featuring The Bronx, Trash Talk and Akimbo. To say that all three bands impressed and tore the tiny basement of Fontana's apart would be an understatement. Check out BITPOM for the full photo-set of all three bands. Related posts: THE [...]
Free of the shackles of a major record label, The Bronx frontman Matt Caughthran seemed like a newly reinvigorated man when I spoke to him on the phone this fall. Excited about finally having a team behind the band that actually cares about the band and their awesome new record The Bronx III, Matt told [...]
Lest you forget, MetalSucks is sponsoring a show this year at CMJ, otherwise known as the week in which thousands of annoying skinny pants-wearing indie snobs descend upon downtown Manhattan. But fuck 'em, because there are a ton of great metal events going on this year, of which your favorite metal douchebags are sponsoring one! Tuesday, [...]
I finally got around to listening to the Bronx's new self titled record (which looks like it's the next in the Panda Bear > El Guincho album cover progression) and like what I found. Some of my coworkers are dyed-in-the-wool Bronx fans — this one might push me further into their camp. MP3: The Bronx - [...]

Though the rest of the show that followed them was one of the best shows I've ever witnessed (Converge a transcendent, high energy, jagged mess of noise that translated their aural violence perfectly into a live environment; Mastodon an Earth-rumbling embodiment of [...]
This Mariachi inspired album is s a brave move for The Bronx and shows they’re not afraid to try their hand at something entirely different, and, indeed, a genre which isn't generally marketable. And what could be more punk than that?
The Lock Up Stage is now the stage where all the heavy rock takes place following what seems to be the demise of the rock day at Reading and Leeds. Early on Tuesday morning on Radio 1’s Punk Show the initial wave of acts for that stage were announced. Billy Talent will headline the stage [...]
In honour of Shred Yr Face and as part of our Shred Yr Face week here at Strange Glue, we've decided to take a visual look back at some of the fantastic SYF names that have toured together through the years.
With the release of The Bronx's third album (thoughtfully entitled "The Bronx III") the punk scene definitely has a new titan on the block. The hardcore sound produced by growling guitar riffs and vocals full of aggression has actually seen the band tone down. Earlier records produced by the band were truly wild while this [...]
