Actually, they`re from Los Angeles. But other than the geographical confusion, there are few missteps on the self-titled major-label debut from neo-hardcore band the Bronx. While their first album (also entitled THE BRONX, and produced by Guns N` Roses` Gilby Clarke) was punk in the vein of the MC5 and Stooges, this disc is more varied. The band was joined by uber-producer Michael Beinhorn, and recorded live in the studio to preserve a rougher, more authentic sound.
What holds THE BRONX together is singer Matt Caughthran`s gravelly shouted vocals and a stellar rhythm section. The songs go from the pounding "Small Stone" to the more melodic "Oceans of Class" and "Dirty Leaves." "White Guilt," on which Gilby Clarke guests, is laid-back guitar rock that has a slight country tinge to it. But that track, while excellent, is an anomaly on an album of powerful, original rock.
