Join Keefy along with Dr. Stephen Payne and Chucky Brown for a deep dive into Uptown Rumble: Heavy Music in The Bronx. It’s a powerful new exhibit tracing decades of heavy rock, metal, thrash, death metal, hardcore, and more emerging from the Bronx between the 1960s and the early 2000s.

Rest in peace to Puerto Rican Myke of District 9.

This conversation delves into the overlooked legacy of Bronx musicians and bands who forged raw, heavy sounds long before today’s global scene — a legacy rooted in community, defiance, and musical grit. From early hard-rock days to underground death-metal shows, we explore the people, places, and social backdrop that shaped this unique regional metal culture.
