Check out this message from the band for all the details:
While we were recording the Self-Titled album in 2011 we decided that this song would not be making the album. We finished the music but did not track the vocals. We recently recorded the vocals but before we release it for you to hear we want to offer everyone a unique opportunity. We want you to download the instrumental version from the widget below, write and record your own lyrics and melody and submit it back to us. We will pick one winner and their version, along with ours will be available for free download from www.altpress.com.

After five long years, Los Angeles’ highly revered punks The Bronx have returned with a long-awaited, ferocious fourth studio album, The Bronx (IV), today via White Drugs/ATO Records. The album is currently available for purchase in stores and at iTunes, Amazon, BestBuy and in a variety of formats at http://thebronxxx.shop.musictoday.com.
In front of a packed, sweaty and near rioting sold-out crowd in Los Angeles on February 2nd, vocalist Matt Caughthran declared, “It’s been a long time coming.” That sentiment could not be truer. Five long years have passed since the band’s last proper release with a few of those spent gigging with their side project Mariachi El Bronx.
Bullet Tooth is excited to announce the signing of The Smoking Hearts from the UK! The band will release their Bullet Tooth debut album “Victory!” this summer in North America and Japan. Playing with the likes of The Used, Asking Alexandria, Gallows, Andrew WK, and many more, The Smoking Hearts have cemented their reputation as one of the most exciting young bands in the U.K. In fact, Jay and Moose from Bullet For My Valentine recently told the UK press, "We think everyone should check out The Smoking Hearts this year, they are good mates of ours. A brilliant band, think Motörhead on more speed beating up the Anti-Nowhere League then bumming The Ramones. Seriously, think about that. They have a new album out this year called ‘Victory!’, a definite recommendation.”
