The Bronx: 'Young Bloods'

The Bronx's latest offering 'Young Bloods' will certainly please existing fans, but is unlikely to set the world on fire.
The punk quintet have certainly stuck to their roots, with political messages and overdriven guitars abundant, although it is hard not to notice the slightly more mainstream tint to the track. “Young bloods/ never let them silence your voice” seems to be the somewhat overused message, especially when practically every line is started with the track's title.
The guitars are slick and dirty, with a brief but sweet solo towards the end of the track. A steady 4/4 drumbeat could perhaps have been more considered, but this does not detract from what is a solid song.
There is nothing wholly to dislike about the track in all, but it has to be said there is nothing to get particularly excited about either.
