After a 10 year hiatus, the beloved Los Angeles trailblazers Mariachi El Bronx are dusting off their charro suits again. The alter ego of punk rock heroes The Bronx, this band?s unexpected headlining career began back in 2008 after the hardcore group sought ways to grow creatively while celebrating the Hispanic music and culture they were surrounded by growing up in Los Angeles. Although seemingly different, the band doesn?t see the genres of punk and mariachi as mutually exclusive - to them, punk and mariachi are spiritually entwined forces rooted in resilient storytelling. ?Punk rock and mariachi music are very similar in soul,? says songwriter and lead vocalist Matt Caughthran. ?It's working class music. It?s real music.? With three acclaimed albums to their name, the eight-piece has shared stages with the Foo Fighters and the Killers, performed everywhere from Letterman to NPR?s Tiny Desk, and lit up festivals from Coachella to Glastonbury.
