The Bronx have started work on 2 new records.
The band have begun working on the first of the two records which they describe as their “mariachi record”. After that is finished, they will go back into their own studio to record 11 punk tracks. They continued by saying:
“Both records should be released this summer worldwide. Double vinyl of both albums to follow. We are gonna try and do a studio blog or something. But we will prolly never get around to it, and blogs suck anyway.”
Big Brother Magazine, which closed it’s doors on 2004, has been revived by Jeff Tremaine’s Jackassworld and will be back on the shelves very soon.
Word is that most of the O.G. writers and contributors will be involved including Dave Carnie, Sean Cliver, Rick Kosick, Dimitry Elyashkevich, Earl Parker and Tremaine himself, but this time concentrating more on skateboarding, but we’re sure the usual Big Brother debauchery will be included.
“Right now the plan is that Big Brother will be a section of Jackassworld,” says Tremaine. “We’re going to put up all the back issues and anything we do skateboarding-related will be housed there as well.”
