Mariachi music and punk rock have more in common than you might think

For about 5 years, The Bronx was a punk rock band. Then, they started making mariachi music as Mariachi El Bronx.

Since then, they’ve split their time between both projects. Today, frontman Matt Caughthran talks about El Bronx’s new album, Mariachi El Bronx (IV), and what performing traditional Mexican music has taught him. Plus, Mariachi El Bronx performs live.
