Mariachi El Bronx Release New Track

• 5th Oct 2014

Mariachi El Bronx – the alter ego of acclaimed Los Angeles punk outfit The Bronx – have shared the lead single ‘Wildfires’ from their forthcoming new album, Mariachi El Bronx (III), out 3rd November via ATO.

With the new album, Mariachi El Bronx injected some electronic sounds into its familiar acoustic instrumentals for the first time. And in the lyrics, frontman Matt Caughthran found himself confronting “ a lot of dark stuff.”

“There were things that I thought I had already written out of my system. My dad passing away. Some slip-ups that really dragged me down. But I think that with this record I finally got those monkeys off my back,” he says. “There was a time a couple years ago when ego had gotten the best of me, and I made a lot of mistakes. ‘Wildfires’ is about being driven by something that’s stronger and darker than yourself.”
