The Bronx County Historical Society and The Fox and King have launched an exhibit titled Uptown Rumble: Heavy Music in The Bronx, highlighting the borough's underappreciated contribution to heavy metal, hardcore punk, and hard rock from the late '60s to the early 2000s. Curated by industry figures, the exhibit includes memorabilia, photographs, and oral histories from notable bands. It also seeks to dismantle stereotypes surrounding heavy music listeners and performers in the Bronx. An opening reception will take place on April 24, and the exhibit runs through November, with additional events planned.
Uptown Rumble: Heavy Music in The Bronx not only showcases the borough's role in heavy music history but also challenges stereotypes about its artists and fans.
This exhibit invites visitors to engage with the rich history of heavy music genres in The Bronx, emphasizing the local cultural legacy from the 60s to 2000s.
