The Bronx announce new album, 'Bronx VI', release first single 'White Shadow' | NME

The Bronx have announced the forthcoming release of ‘Bronx VI’, the L.A. punks’ first new studio album in four years.

The band marked the announcement with the release of a new single entitled ‘White Shadow’, which frontman Matt Caughthran described as “as a song about spiralling”.

“Wild eyed guitars, drums, and bass mixed with a high speed chase and a frantic mind unravelling. CLASSIC F*CKING BRONX,” he said.

Slated for release on August 27 via Cooking Vinyl, ‘Bronx VI’ marks the follow-up to the band’s 2017 studio album, ‘Bronx V’.

In a press release, guitarist Joby Ford spoke excitedly of the upcoming release, saying, “From day one we really decided that we wanted to make a record that went in different directions and places.

“I loved listening to what other people wrote, and I think those differences and nuances really come through.”

Caughthran added, “We’re still learning stuff about each other, especially when it comes to the process of creating an album.

“This is a really important record for us growth-wise because it kicked down a lot of doors that needed to be kicked down. I feel like now going forward the sky is the limit.”

‘Bronx VI’ was produced by Joe Baressi (Tool, Melvins, Bad Religion) at his House of Compression studio in Pasadena, California.
