The Bronx is The Bronx's debut studio album and the first recording by the band on Ferret Records. Released on August 26, 2003, it is the first of six self-titled albums and was also released on the band's own White Drugs record label.
Release
The album was released in a digipack in Australia, Japan and the United Kingdom (U.K.). The Australian and UK versions contain a cover version of the X song "Los Angeles," while the Japanese CD, released on Sonic Label, featured four additional songs, including the X cover version. The X song was later released in the U.S. on the limited edition Tarantulas Records vinyl release, sold under license from the White Drugs label. The song "False Alarm" is featured as an on-disc playable song in the 2010 video game Rock Band 3, and the song "Notice of Eviction" is featured in the soundtrack for the 2004 video-game Need for Speed: Underground 2.
Influence
Simon Ridley, drummer of Brisbane, Australia band DZ Deathrays identified the album as one of seven that changed his life and described it as "a psych up album for nights when I’m too tired but need to party." Ridley further explained: “Every song on this album is fucking rad!"
