I like the Bronx but no idea what that has to do with this. Am I missing a connection? haha
scannest wrote:Yeah, I dig THE BRONX a lot. They're like an "indie" version of the Foo Fighters, for lack of a better description. A straight up rock band, influenced by punk, hardcore, and classic rock in equal measure. Shame they toured as openers for Rancid and Dropkick Murphys - would love to see them at a headlining club show.
I guess I'll check out TURNSTILE based on the description.

lewdd wrote:Greg, you mentioned that you felt the Turnstile new album was the best hardcore album you have heard in some time. I feel the first Bronx LP is the best hardcore album since 2000. I was trying to get a perspective on how you felt Turnstile compared to assess whether I want to listen to it.
Scanny, I feel the first LP by the Bronx is closer to a hardcore record and then they mixed up their style after that. While I do like several songs on those next five releases, the first one is by far my favorite. I don't think there is a song I don't like. Unfortunately, the vinyl version is super expensive. I would really like to hear how it sounds on vinyl versus CD or streaming, but will settle with what I have for now.
jaybird, I think the newest Bronx LP is the best of theirs since the first one although there are several songs that go off in a direction that is currently beyond my listening pleasures.

I checked out the Seth Meyers appearance. That first song is not bad. Sounds like Quicksand meets Janes Addiction. I'm not really fond of either of those bands, but the Turnstile song kinda rocks. The second song is horrible, though.

scannest wrote:I was kinda turned off after seeing them on Seth Meyers. Something about that fuckin Jackson guitar and the singer's dance moves...it just reeked a little too much of rap-rock, or nu metal. It's petty to say it changed my opinion of the record a little, but I am nothing if not petty.

Don’t forget about the shirtless drummer. If the studio was that hot, why was the bassist wearing a varsity jacket and the guitarist a ski hat?
