The Cancer Bats just got back to Toronto from 5 months of touring. Today I ate brunch with Mikey da drummer and basked in his stories of touring with The Bronx, one of the best hardcore bands out.

In April The Bronx posted this update on their website:

we have begun working on 2 albums worth of material. we will be making 2 different records this time… (and yet both will still be self titled)
record # 1 will be mariachi music (el bronx)
record # 2 will be dead punk (the bronx)
both go well with hot sauce, but yet each has a different bouquet.

Mikey confirmed that on tour they were writing songs on a mariachi style guitar. I don’t know what to think. Here’s the creepy must-see vids from their last self-titled album, “History’s Stranglers,” “Sh*tty Future” & “White Guilt”:

Oh and here’s a weird treat: I stumbled across this remix by StarGate, the Norwegian Pop/R&B hitmakers behind some of Ne-Yo and Beyonce’s recent hits.
