Charles Bronson (band)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Charles Bronson was a straight edge hardcore punk/power violence thrash band noted for its innovative use of film/TV samples as postmodern metacommentary within the structure of its music. They are said to be one of the founding Thrash/Powerviolence bands. (The eponymous self-referencing sample comes from Gary Oldman's character in True Romance.) They played fast and heavy thrash along with contemporaries like Dropdead and Spazz. Their two-disc discography, entitled Complete Discocrappy, was released on Youth Attack Recordings/625 Thrashcore in 2000. Members went on to be in bands like Spazz, Holy Molar, Das Oath, VMW, Social Coma, Repos, and Ruination.
