FYF Scene Report 2014: The Bronx

Living up to their hardcore punk reputation, The Bronx opened a spirited show with vocalist Matt Caughthran stage diving into the crowd. Their 10+ years together as a band were apparent throughout the set as they played to their high energy strengths and appeased their zealous fans. Caughthran delivered a screaming version of “Knifeman” and then cursed the end of the weekend, “Live and let die. Monday’s no joke… Let’s dance. Let’s dance.” The band, who also performed at FYF under their associated act, Mariachi El Bronx, continued to thrill as the sun set during “Shitty Future”. Between profanity laced call and responses with the crowd and a generalized hatred for the looming work week, The Bronx definitely knew how to get their fans riled up and the energy lasted long after the sun set. – Jennifer Mergott
