LA-based punk rockers The Bronx have released their new single dubbed ‘Mexican Summer,’ which you can check out below. The tune appears on the act’s upcoming full-length titled ‘Bronx VI,’ which drops on August 27th through Cooking Vinyl (pre-order).
“Musically and lyrically, ‘Mexican Summer” is the most The Bronx has ever directly influenced by Mariachi el Bronx,” says vocalist Matt Caughthran. “The feel and groove of the song speak to you in rhythm, as the story of one man’s paradise lost burns violently into the night.”
In more news, a presser adds, “As the SoCal band have done for each of the singles leading up to the album release, The Bronx have partnered with Craig Stecyk, founder of the famous Zephyr Surfshop that birthed the skate team of the same name and was the basis of the Dogtown documentary and film, for a limited-edition (225) skateboard.”
“I’ve known The Bronx since ’02 and have always been intrigued by both their sound and their demonic deconstructivist work ethic,” comments Stecyk in an interview with Juice Magazine. “We have interacted on various collaborative aesthetic/acoustic efforts over the years. The skate in question is the logical extrapolation of too much time spent hanging together. In the cartel’s motor home, which is affectionately known as Baked Goods, monotony inspired all and fandangos are endemic.”
ICYMI, The Bronx will be joining Dropkick Murphys and Rancid for their co-headlining ‘Boston To Berkeley II’ tour — check out those dates and more after the new song.
