Los Angeles rockers The Bronx have announced a new album ‘Bronx VI’. The announcement comes alongside a new single ‘White Shadow’.
“I’m excited,” guitarist Joby Ford said. “From day one we really decided that we wanted to make a record that went in different directions and places. The thing I like a lot about it is that everybody contributed songs. It’s not just Joby J. Ford guitars with Matt singing over it. I loved listening to what other people wrote, and I think those differences and nuances really come through.”
“We’ve known each other for a long time,” vocalist Matt Caughthran added. “and we’re such good friends and we’re so tight creatively, but we’re still learning stuff about each other, especially when it comes to the process of creating an album. Brad and Ken are just coming out as songwriters and we’re learning to write songs as a group around ideas they bring to the table. 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.”
The band have given fans a taste of what to expect from the 11 track album via the new single ‘White Shadow’, a track which Matt described as “a song about spiraling. Wild eyed Guitars, drums, and bass mixed with a high speed chase and a frantic mind unraveling. CLASSIC FUCKING BRONX.”

The new album has been produced by Joe Baressi (Tool, Melvins, Bad Religion) at his ‘House Of Compression’ studio in Pasadena, Calif. “We’d been talking about doing a record together [with Joe] since 2005,” Joby explained. “and it finally aligned schedule wise.”
Matt adds “He was just the perfect guy for this record. We went in feeling really good about all the songs, and we just needed someone to make them sound fucking badass and take it to the next level. That was definitely Joe.”
The new Joe Baressi produced album will be released later this year on August 27th Via Cooking Vinyl. ‘Bronx VI’ is available to pre-order now here, and is available digitally, on CD, and on a number of vinyl variants.
Each of the 11 songs will also be available as individual, limited-edition 7-inch singles featuring unique artwork from a hand-picked group of artists including Estevan Oriol, DABS MYLA, Craig Stecyk, and Tim Armstrong. The 7-inches, while available individually, can also be purchased as a monthly subscription, dubbed the “Mirror Press” series and limited to 400 fans, the lucky recipients will receive a collectable, handmade wooden box embossed with the band’s logo, a lyrical decoder mirror, 7-inch slip mat.
