DOWNLOAD: The Bronx - Young Bloods + Knifeman
In their relatively brief career, Los Angeles’ the Bronx have managed to sign to a major label after only their third show, tour the world with everyone from the Circle Jerks to Converge, be basically the only hardcore band to ever wind up on the cover of The FADER, and release every single one of their fantastic full-lengths as a self-titled record. And while these might seem like acceptable and hilarious accomplishments for a band whose singer sports a neck tattoo of the Black Flag bars, they’ve still managed to stay relatively unrecognized, surviving by deftly trying to navigate the fine line between playing the Warped Tour and playing crummy dive bars (and they obviously enjoy playing bars way more.) After finally being liberated from their contract with Island/Def Jam, on November 11 the band will put out its third (again, self-titled) album, a vicious and brief thirty-five minute bruiser that makes no bones about being the best Neil Young record the Suicidal Tendencies never wrote. Grab two tracks from the album below—the AC/DC miming “Knifeman” and first single “Young Bloods,” which is the catchiest Huntington Beach hardcore track we’ve heard in ages—and hit the jump for some footage of El Mariachi Bronx, the band’s horn-spiked south-of-the-border alter-ego.
