After a dozen years of keeping us waiting, Mariachi El Bronx returns horns a-blazin’.

It’s unseasonably warm, not like you’d be able to walk around in a T-shirt, but definitely not the type of weather you’d expect of the Grand Valley in February. It makes a perfect setting for The Barr Brothers and their urgent machinations. I remembered to get my hat, not that I need it.

Aggressive debut from this UK band features some highly dynamic songs loaded with twisty hooks.
