Mariachi El Bronx

Los Angeles based punk band the Bronx - aptly named after the left coast borough - has for the last 6 years redefined what punk means, sounds and doesn't look like.

After 3 self-titled full lengths, countless tours all over the world and more 7 inches and EPs than one can count, they return with their latest offering - the self titled Mariachi El Bronx available from August 17th 2009, which was produced by John Avila in Los Angeles. The album is preceded by the single Cell Mates, available from August 10th 2009.

According to Matt from the band...

"Mariachi el Bronx was probably conceived in August of 2006 in Los Angeles' infamous "Downtown Rehearsals." It all started as a way to flip the electric goes acoustic performance garbage, because that's never good. We were invited to play live on television but decided that a cheesy acoustic version of our song was not what we wanted to do. "

"The Original El Bronx line up had Zander Schloss (Wierdos, Circle Jerks) on guitarron and Keith Douglas (Mad Caddies) playing trumpet. The project triggered something inside all of us that was unexpected. It's almost impossible to explain but it felt like discovering a second soul within you. We instantly started writing new songs. The body of this record was written all over the world. As the Bronx played, El Bronx wrote. "
