The Bronx unleash new single White Shadow, announce upcoming album Bronx VI

California punk rockers The Bronx have shared the opening song from their upcoming sixth record.

The unsurprisingly ace White Shadow – which frontman Matt Caughthran calls "a song about spiralling. Wild-eyed guitars, drums, and bass mixed with a high-speed chase and a frantic mind unraveling. Classic fucking Bronx!" – opens up Bronx VI, which was produced by Joe Baressi and is due out on August 27 via Cooking Vinyl.

"I’m excited," enthuses guitarist Joby Ford of the LP as a whole. "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.”

Matt continues, "We’ve known each other for a long time 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."
