My nanny's husband (and former Bloodshoot road manager) Paul M. Davis
dropped this gem in my public folder before a recent trip to Tulum.
Figuring I would have my share of Mariachi music while in the Riviera
Maya I didn't give it much thought. When I finally got around to
listening to it (and looking at the unique cover art) I knew I had
stumbled upon something special. Turns out Mariachi El Bronx is
actually the Los Angeles punk band El Bronx who have put their
hardcore career on hold to record an entire album full of Mariachi
smokers. Lead singer Matt Caughtran sites influences from Black Flag
to Los Lobos and it's easy to imagine how these two types of music can
coexist so harmoniously in Southern California. Whether you're on a
sun drenched beach, ipod covered in cocoa butter fingerprints, or
sipping English tea on a cold and rainy fall morning you will easily
fall under the spell of this hypnotic music.
