The Bronx rescue rooms

Artist: The Bronx
Venue: Rescue Rooms Nottingham
Date: 20 February 2013

Lineup: Axis of, Single Mothers, The Bronx

This isn't the first time I have seen The Bronx although the last time they were in their mariachi guise.  The time before that was epic with Mariachi and pulled apart by horses in support with Tom from PABH parting the crowd with the most horrendous projectile vomiting I have ever seen before James Brown started playing guitar on the bar.

This time no Mariachi and 2 bands I haven't heard of in support. First up Axis of. The problem with early curfews at the rescue rooms is that support bands go on really early and I didn't make it in time to see these guys.

Next up was Single Mothers as they kept informing everyone from London Ontario a straight up Hardcore band with a vocalist who's style reminded my of Keith Morris from Black Flag, Circle Jerks etc.  Really enjoyed them came home and downloaded their ep (legally) well worth a listen.

Now it was time for The Bronx as the background stated.... The Beat that kills

You know exactly what you are gonna get from The Bronx, straight up rock n roll played fast and hard, They came on and ripped the place apart. They played an 80min set, no encores, no messing about just BOOM!  Whatever guise The Bronx are in they look like a band that loves what they do.

Singer Matt Caughthran obviously didn't read the signs placed around the place stating that anyone caught crowd surfing would be kicked out, it would be a pretty odd show if the lead singer got kicked out after 2 songs!

Matt took every opportunity to get in with the crowd, if you look closely you can see the top of Matts bald head in the middle of the pit!

and enjoying the ride back to the stage!

At the end of the set walking back through the bar, People were watching the Brits on the big screen why anybody would choose to watch James Corden and the rest of that rubbish when The Bronx were doing their thing 20ft away is something I will never understand.
