Bridging the invisible barriers between modern Rock, Metal, Punk and
even hardcore music, The Bronx was formed in 2002 in Los Angeles, California
USA, by vocalist Matt Caughthran, guitarist Joby J. Ford, bass player
James Tweedy and drummer Jorma Vik.
The first offering from the group was a 28 minutes of white hot noise,
authentic imperfection at its finest, served to the world three times
over during two and a half years of extensive touring. Released in August
2003 and accompanied by a handful of EPs and 7-inches, the debut is considered
to be virtually out of print in the United States.
Former Guns N' Roses member Gilby
Clarke produced The Bronx's first release and played on "White Guilt",
the first single off their second, again self-titled, album which was
recorded in a converted methadone clinic in Venice Beach and issued on
Island/Def Jam in July 2006.
Approximately a year later, Tweedy left the band to be replaced by new
bassist Brad Magers.
In November 2008, the band released their third eponymous full-length
disc, hereby known as "The Bronx III", which sees the anarchic
Californians beef up both their sound and their line-up, thanks to the
addition of a second guitarist, Ken Horne.
