THE BRONX
The Bronx III
(White Drugs/Original Signal)
Release date: Nov. 11
Rock ‘n’ roll got a swift kick in the rear by The Bronx, and their latest release continues to do that. Sticking to their raw, edgy sound full of AC/DC-style rhythms and punchy Black Flag-style aggression, they have created what is easily an anthem for a new generation of antisocial youths. But on III, they have honed and refined the maniacal side, where hooks appear in spots throughout the record, but without losing any of the intensity along the way. Songs like “Knifeman” and “Pleasure Seekers” pack memorable guitar rhythms with sing-a-long punk style choruses, while older fans will get off on “Inveigh” with its abrasive blasts of riffing from start to finish. Longtime fans should enjoy this, as well as newer fans looking for music to bash your heads to. This is a record full of edgy songs that could easily become the logical progression of rock music that is missing today.
