Charles Bronson was an American powerviolence band from DeKalb, Illinois, active from 1994 to 1997.

Musical style

The band borrowed from the early powerviolence of Infest.^[1] Lyrically, the group tended towards satirical commentary on the hardcore punk scene.^[2] The group has been described as a "fast, screaming mess of tall, skinny guys with a lot to say (which you would only know if you read the liner notes)".^[3] The group was sometimes criticized for its conceptual take on hardcore and art school tendencies, maintaining a long-standing feud with Felix Havoc of Code 13.^[4] The band existed for only 3 years but members went on to join Los Crudos.^[5]
