Mariachi El Bronx’s Matt Caughthran picks 5 favorite albums

Mariachi El Bronx, the mariachi alter ego of LA punk band The Bronx, are about to release Mariachi El Bronx IV, their first album in 12 years, this Friday (2/13) via ATO. They’ll also be playing Kimmel tonight (2/12) and livestreaming their Tijuana album release show on Veeps on Saturday (2/14), and to help usher in the release of this new LP, Mariachi El Bronx vocalist Matt Caughthran has made us a list of five of his favorite albums of all time.

Each pick on the list is a different genre (indie, punk, metal, country, and Tejano rock), and it’s a lot of fun to watch the always-compelling Matt Caughthran talk about the music he loves. Watch below.

Our exclusive “golden ripple” vinyl variant of Mariachi El Bronx IV is sold out, but you can pick up the album on translucent orange vinyl in the BV shop.
