News:  The Bronx

New From Mariachi El Bronx: Map Of The World

By Johnny Firecloud

Mariachi El Bronx have returned, the alter egos of Los Angeles hardcore kingpins The Bronx. Their second album, Mariachi El Bronx (II) is set for release August 2, 2011 on ATO Records. We have some exciting new sounds from the album, courtesy of Remezcla Music.

Map Of The World is an indication of profound advancement in the nuanced stylings of the art of Mariachi for the band, its three-minute running time packing a beautiful intensity and rhythmic blizzard within. Listen and download for yourself:

Preorder Mariachi El Bronx (II) here, and after getting caught up on our coverage of the band, remember to check back on Monday for an exclusive breakdown of The Bronx’s relationship with Mariachi by drummer Jorma Vic.
