THE BRONX UNLEASH LONG-AWAITED FOURTH ALBUM TODAY

February 5, 2013 – Los Angeles, CA – After five long years, Los Angeles’ highly revered punks The Bronx have returned with a long-awaited, ferocious fourth studio album, The Bronx (IV), today via White Drugs/ATO Records.  The album is currently available for purchase in stores and at iTunes, Amazon, BestBuy and in a variety of formats at http://thebronxxx.shop.musictoday.com.

Fans are invited to stream The Bronx (IV) in its entirety with track-by-track commentary now at http://bit.ly/YAz4EU.

In front of a packed, sweaty and near rioting sold-out crowd in Los Angeles on February 2nd, vocalist Matt Caughthran declared, “It’s been a long time coming.”  That sentiment could not be truer.  Five long years have passed since the band’s last proper release with a few of those spent gigging with their side project Mariachi El Bronx.  And as critics continue to point out the band’s return could not have come sooner!!!  Here’s what a few are saying…..

“The Bronx have made the most focused and diverse record of their career.” – Alternative Press

“The Bronx are back with riotous riffs and howling, shout-along choruses” – Rolling Stone

“The Bronx has turned rage and desperation into a perpetual state of being—and (IV) into a monument not just of survival, but also evolution.” – AVClub.com

“the band’s delivery of these dozen songs is consistently cathartic” – Boston Globe

“Forget the punk or hardcore labels — The Bronx are one of the top hard rock acts of the last decade.” – MetalSucks.net

“the songs still concentrate on packing as much of a punch as humanly possible” – AllMusic.com

“The Bronx are probably the finest punk band of this century” – Kerrang! KKKK

“None of the band’s bolshy character is lost on ‘Bronx IV’, but they do find new places to go.” – NME

“One of this generation’s greatest punk bands” – Metal Hammer 9/10

“There’s no one quite like The Bronx”  – BBC.co.uk

“An early contender for Album Of The Year” – Big Cheese 5/5

The Bronx will wrap up their sold-out U.S. album release shows tonight at Bowery Electric in New York City, before heading across the Atlantic for a month long trek of the UK and returning in March for a string of shows as Mariachi El Bronx.
