Leading the assault is a loud throbbing bassline that coils around the mind like an anaconda, with shifts from melody to throaty yells riding along the Helmet like rhythms.

Every song the band plays gets a thrilling reaction from the crowd; the likes of <em>\u2018Shitty Future\u2019<\/em>, <em>\u2018Under the Rabbit\u2019<\/em>, <em>\u2018Knifeman\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018False Alarm\u2019 <\/em>see a consistent and chaotic pattern of bodies lapping over the stage, throats being pushed to their limit in yells, and a friction of pushing and shoving that causes a feverous heat to rise only getting the attendees more rowdy by the minute.<\/p>\n<p> Sure the words yelled by Matt Caughthran are indecipherable but since this is <strong>The Bronx<\/strong>, a band who has the complete wizardry and energy to harness such noise, it doesn\u2019t matter. After a 3 minute breather in the form of <em>\u2018White Guilt\u2019<\/em>, the fire returns right where it should be lit. The charisma and charming personality of Caughthran allows the band to pick their audience piece by piece, until they turn into jelly. This reaches the stratosphere as soon as Caughthran gets into the crowd and creates a furious buzz during fan favourite <em>\u2018They Will Kill Us All (Without Mercy)\u2019,<\/em> which leaves a scorched trail as he shifts around the room.<\/p>\n<p> Tonight\u2019s positive response and energy is given one last push during the two hit combo of <em>\u2018Heart Attack American\u2019<\/em> and <em>\u2018History\u2019s Stranglers\u2019<\/em>, the effects of which are being felt by the security behind the barrier. Ladies and gentlemen, I stand by and reiterate my previous point, <strong>The Bronx<\/strong> are the greatest rock n roll band to grace this earth and they are an untouchable live force.
