Sirius Satellite Radio's Left Of Center channel has recently discovered Bronx Cheerleader's Tough Guy Cliches album and DJ Liquid Todd has played several tracks as of late on his Zeroes + Ones program. The channel focuses on the college and indie rock scene and has global reach. Sirius Satellite Radio is soon to overtake XM in the marketplace thanks largely to Howard Stern. Bronx Cheerleader's Scott Warren, a Sirius subscriber himself, tells us Sirius Satellite Radio is a fabulous product, "Sirius Satellite Radio is a fabulous product."

SIXEYES SHOWS SOME LOVE

Fine music blogsite Sixeyes gives a nod to Bronx Cheerleader in it's "Discover Something New" feature.

Bronx Cheerleader - Canada

It was quite a while back when I happily stumbled upon this band and after linking some mp3s from the label (Yummy Recordings) was contacted by Yummy head honcho and future Bronx Cheerleader member, Joe Lapinski. He (or was it Bronx Cheerleader leader, Scott Warren) sent me a copy of the album, Tough Guy Cliches. I raved about it, or in my own low key 'don't-make-too-much-noise-'cause-you-don't-want-to-draw-too-much-attention-to-yourself-'cause-i'm-a-shy-and-private-kinda-guy' way, raved about it here at *Sixeyes. But don't take my word for it... others have said good things as well...

SAUDER HOSPITALIZED: SHOWS CANCELLED

Bronx Cheerleader drummer Sauder went under the knife yesterday forcing Bronx Cheerleader to bow out of two planned shows this weekend, including one with the great Sailboats Are White. After a gall stone flare-up in the middle of the night on Wednesday the drummer was rushed to the hospital where he spent the night under observation. "If I can walk, I'm playing", Sauder said optimistically Thursday. However, the doctor checked him out on Friday morning and deemed that surgery was needed. "F*ck!" said Sauder when reached for comment Friday afternoon before the procedure. Later adding, "F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck!!!". After a successfull operation Sauder is now at home recuperating. Get well soon you crazy mofo.

BRONX-ER WINS T-SHIRT CONTEST

No, not a wet T-shirt contest (although one never knows what the future holds). The contest, sponsored by American Apparrel, was a silent auction held at the Phog Lounge in Windsor, ON. The stipulations of the T-shirt show were that all entries were required to be original, one-of-a-kind design prints. The auction was held over a two-week period in late June and the shirt with the highest bid would be deemed the winner (with %30 of the proceeds going to charity). Bronx Cheerleader's Scott Warren took top prize at the show with his "Disco Mao" shirt design which went for $50. You can see the winning design in the right margin of our "Live Shows" page on this here site. Thanks to Tom at the Phog Lounge for all the help.

COME HEAR THE S.C.E.N.E.

Here's what the experts recommend checking out at this year's SCENE Festival...

PULSE MAGAZINE'S SCENE Festival Best Bets

BRONX CHEERLEADER
10:00pm ON 81

“You gave it up for us, now you’ve given up on us.” – “Got
Company” Bronx Cheerleader’s debut album, Tough Guy Cliches
was not only one of my favourite albums of 2005, but hands
down the best local album of the year. This Yummy Recordings
quintet beautifully combines honest songwriting with intricate
and delicate rhythms that could very well leave you humming the
hooks for the rest of the evening. The band’s collective influences
include Frank Zappa, Sonic Youth, Pavement, Ween and Neil
Young
, which totally explains the undertones of psychadelia. If
you’ve come to SCENE Festival to be knocked on your ass by that
beautiful pop music, look no further; these tough guys are
delightful. [JORDY YACK]

POPMATTERS REVIEWS TOUGH GUY CLICHES

On-line webzine juggernaut Popmatters.com chimes in...

Bronx Cheerleader - Tough Guy Clichés (Yummy Recordings)

Other than war, no milieu brings out male fallibility more than organized crime. Yet, Americans harbor a nostalgia for the relative certitude of the glory days of gangland; how else can you explain Al Capone's northwoods hideout as a tourist attraction complete with caricatured t-shirts that read, "Justice -- Chicago Style"? Cleverly, ex-Pope Factory man Scott Warren uses the push and pull between these two ideas as the loose underpinning for Tough Guy Clichés. His lyrics are smart but never cutesy or deliberately shocking. A song title like "Our Grudges Have Handles" sums up his approach pretty well. The music, played by Warren and several ex-Pope Factory and Palooka members, belies the subject matter. Mostly acoustic, gauzy, and navel-gazing, at times it's barely there; Warren's voice literally floats by. A little more lo-fi than necessary, but still devastating on tracks like "Hollywood Ending". Some of the better CD packaging you'll ever see, too.

Check out the nice write up from PULSE Niagara - our favourite leftist weekly...

PULSE
NIAGARA'S WEEKLY ALTERNATIVE


TOUGH GUYS

Sitting in on a Bronx Cheerleader rehearsal on a Friday evening was pretty surreal. The walk to Yummy Recordings’ A–Frame studios was quite brisk, but as soon as I came within
striking distance of the band’s practice space, I could make out the warm sounds coming from the attic and the chill in my bones was instantly gone. As the band played, it was remarkable to be able hear all of the album’s nuances re–enacted live. The cymbal crashes, the maracas shaking, the bells jangling, the bass guitar dancing, the mandolin twinkling, the
acoustic guitar plucking, the electric guitar humming and Scott Warren’s beautiful and thoughtful vocals could all be felt and heard. There were no sounds that were struggling for
notice; it seemed as if the instruments are all old friends caught up in conversation.

“Bronx Cheerleader began around a campfire near Picton, Ontario, in the summer of 2003,”
recalls Warren, songwriter and frontman of Bronx Cheerleader. “One night [I was] around the campfire with some friends and there was an acoustic guitar kicking around. I was badgered until I picked it up and played something. I instantly realized how much I missed playing and performing, that’s how I got back into it after not picking up a guitar for almost two years. All of a sudden the songs just starting coming.”

That was the first time Warren had performed in front of an audience since his days in Pope
Factory
. His original band was created in his parent’s garage in the mid–’90s in Welland.
“The band relocated to Toronto in 1995 and Sauder (Bronx’s drummer) was kicked out of
the band in 1998 for liking the Tragically Hip too much. We released an EP and a full–length
CD, got some good press and played CMJ in New York City in 1999,” explains Warren.

“Everything kind of fell apart when we hit the road for a U.S. tour in 2001. On the morning of
September 11, we were en route to NYC to play at the CMJ festival again. This showcase was
the linchpin of the tour and was to be the launch pad for our campaign of global domination. But the terrorists wouldn’t have it. In the aftermath of 9/11, the bookings dried up – no one was going out to see Canadian indie rock bands anymore. Everyone was staying at home, glued to the TV to see what kind of madness was going to unfold next. So, I guess you could say that the terrorists killed Pope Factory.”

From there, Warren sat down with Joe Lapinski and brought him some rough bedroom recordings. “He worked his magical production skills until we had something that was releaseable. Basically, Joe polished a lot of audio turds,” laughs Warren. “Joe basically
saved Tough Guy Cliches."

The album was released at the end of 2005 and has been spinning in CD players non–stop all across Canada. CBC Radio One’s Amanda Putz, named the album one of her “Best Bets” of 2005. The CD stayed in the top 30 at CFBU for nearly three months, while most of the time was spent at the top. Nationally, the album charted at #30 for the month of January on the Earshot Canadian Campus Radio Charts. Warren responds, “Nobody is more surprised about the reception the album has gotten than I am. I suppose that after years of slugging it out in the nasty world of indie rock I’ve just been conditioned to have low expectations. It’s a defense mechanism – I guess.”

Nice feature on Bronx Cheerleader from the good people at Indiecan.com...

Bronx Cheerleader
Raising the bar for indie bands

2005 proved to be a banner year for the music industry, we were introduced to many hot bands such as Bloc Party, Death Cab For Cutie, The Bravery and many more. The bar has certainly been raised from art rock to punk and all genres in between. That said, Bronx Cheerleader certainly felt they had to come out swinging and in top form with their debut full length Tough Guy Cliches in 2005. After a few spins of this brilliant debut I couldn’t stop listening to it and decided that it was one of the best debut’s I’ve heard and was definitely one of the strongest releases of the year.

Rising from the ashes of former Toronto psych-rockers Pope Factory is founding member Scott Warren who after almost 3 years on hiatus following a the band’s breakup in 2001 had to bust out his axe and songwriting chops to get back to doing what he loves best: playing music. After writing a few new tunes in 2003 Scott had his momentum back and was on his way to laying out the blueprints for Tough Guy Cliches. This proved to be quite a task because Scott, who had since settled into domestic bliss with a new house and a brand new baby, had to find the time to juggle way more tasks than he was used to in prior music projects. The big changes had not only altered Scott’s lifestyle but also his songwriting which had evolved from the guitar rock sounds of Sonic Youth to a more mellow, yet still trippy, rock style comparable to the melodic styles of Mercury Rev, and vocal sounds of Elliot Smith.

Over 2 years into the project and a few band names later Bronx Cheerleader was officially born. The process of recruiting the band came while recording the CD, Scott had most of the tracks in place but needed key overdubs such as mandolin, lead guitars, drums and bass so he had to start making some calls to find players. The members of the band consist of a mixed bag of Scott’s musical acquaintances varying from family, friends, former band mates and a new recruit from a local record label, they are; original Pope Factory drummer (Sauder), brother in law & guitarist (Tom Tracey), long time friend and Palooka bassist (Eron Stroud), and finally Yummy Recordings label head and guitarist Joe Lapinski. Having such a talented crew of musicians on his side was exactly what Scott needed to seal the deal and put out the long awaited Tough Guy Cliches and also have a spot reserved for the band on Yummy Recordings.

After the official release of Tough Guy Cliches, Bronx Cheerleader had to test the Canadian Indie market and start promoting their product, after sending out some promo CD’s they we’re surprised to find themselves on the national Top 50 chart of the Canadian College Radio circuit for over a month straight along with a spot on Earshot’s Top 30 Chart. Not too shabby for a St. Catharines band who had never even fully rehearsed or played a live show.

With such an impressive start in the band’s infancy there’s no question that we will be seeing and hearing great things to from this St. Catharines band as they are now in rehearsals preparing to hit the stage for the spring/summer season of 2006 and Scott Warren continues penning new material for their next CD which undoubtedly will be another killer.

"There's this band, Bronx Cheerleader, that is getting a reasonable amount of underground hype. They're being described as Canada's version of The Shins. Really crafty songwriting, especially memorable melodies, and for some reason, very familiar. Familiar in a distant way -- it sounds like something I like and that I know, but I don't know why or where it's from. They're cool ... "

Best Local Release

CFBU's Music Director Jordy Yack selects Tough Guy Cliches as Best Local Album of the year in an Earshot online poll:

Best Local Release

Bronx Cheerleader - Tough Guy Cliches - (Yummy Recordings)

This is the greatest pop release I've heard in a long time. Not only does the album contain superb songwriting, instrumentation, and vocals, but the packaging is beautifully handcrafted. Think of a better, Canadian version of the Shins, with the odd mandolin riff here and there. Yummy Recordings is run by Joe Lapinski who does everything DIY, is super nice, writes great music (Joe Lapinski and Palooka) and he certainly knows what he's doing. Canada meet Yummy, Yummy this is Canada. (shake hands here)

Exclaim! Magazine
Review By Chris Whibbs

Bronx Cheerleader
Tough Guy Clichés

Yummy Recordings

Although the absolutely lovely and inventive packaging compliments the discs’ title due to its’ stark depictions of mobsters and cops, the style of music couldn’t be farther from the titular literary devices. This music, beautifully crafted by main man S.D. Warren, reminds of the gentle pop stylings of the Clientele or similar Brit bands that ply their wares with hushed emotions and acoustic strums. Putting this on at a party may not be the best idea, but if you’re looking for something to sink your self-pitying teeth into, then you can’t go wrong here. “Racing Time” isn’t just dedicated to Elliott Smith, as Warren’s voice lovingly emulates the late man’s sing-speak along with the perfect driving pop beat. For the epic dream-like centrepiece, look to “The Assault” that allows the falsetto to soar and stimulate the introspection. Throughout Tough Guy Clichés there’s always a nagging familiarity, but it can easily be put aside. For those looking for a great slice of oozing sincerity, there probably won’t be as confident and driven statement of emotion as Bronx Cheerleader concoct here.

Review by Alan Williamson

Bronx Cheerleader
Tough Guy Cliches

[yummy recordings - 2005]
*Sixeyes Score: 8.3 out of 10

This debut outing is wonderfully packed with strongly memorable melodies. Led by Scott Warren of former Toronto band Pope Factory, this is a DIY bedroom effort which was mixed and mastered by Yummy Recordings label head, Joe Lapinski. Relying heavily on acoustic guitar and frequent double tracking of Warren's soft vocals some of the album's 12 songs raise the spectre of Elliott Smith, but Warren's vocals are more akin to the ethereal voice of Great Lake Swimmer's Tony Dekker brought down to earth by the twin ghosts of Nick Drake and the aforementioned Smith. Standout tracks include "Hollywood Ending", "The Idea", Racing Time", and "Invisible Suit" with it's unexpected serpentine groove.

A series of songs that sparkle with the pent up energy of Warren's self-imposed exile from music. Shimmering with melancholia, Tough Guy Cliches, marks a very welcome return to the fold for Scott Warren.

NIAGARA'S WEEKLY ALTERNATIVE


BRONX CHEERLEADER
TOUGH GUY CLICHES

Before even thinking about writing a review for this album I sat and stared with a giddy gaze at
my wall. I was around five songs into the album before I actually put my pen to the paper. “Hollywood Ending”, a standout track reminds me vaguely of The Shins. The song begins delicate, yet ends with gooey layers of unstoppable sound.Fronted by S.D. Warren (ex–Pope Factory), Bronx Cheerleader have created a precious and mezmerizing pop/rock debut. Sure, the term pop/rock sounds generic, however, they are anything but. Sprinkled throughout the album and accompanying the standard guitar/bass/drum combo are bountiful bits of harmonica, mandolin and keys. Warren’s harmnious vocals shine and display his range in “So Nice to See You (Fall)” complete with catchy riffs and pant shaking drumming. Tough Guy Cliches is an album that will increase your capacity to smile all day long. (Yummy)
