BRONSON Vocals/guitar: Alfredo Gonzalez Lead guitar: Aleksandar Torovich Drums: Chad Allen Bass: Steve Vallera You couldn’t put 4 more different people together in a band and expect it to work and yet Bronson has done just that. All members come from different spectrums of music, but somehow manage to come up with one very unique sound. This is the sound of Bronson. Alfredo comes from a punk rock background. Growing up listening to bands like The Ramones, Social Distortion, The Clash, 7 Seconds, and others led him to start his own punk rock band. He fronted the group Madcap for many years and toured extensively with them. He has left his punk rock band but not his punk rock roots and D.I.Y. attitude. Aleksandar’s first love in music was metal but his influences are scattered all across the map. Music giants such as Ennio Morricone, Stephane Grappelli, Astor Piazzolla and Tony Rice have all left a great mark on him. All of his influences have led him to develop a remarkable technique, which allows him to add his personal touch to the sound of Bronson. Chad grew up listening to a wide variety of music ranging from rock & country to music of the 50’s and 60’s. To realize your dreams isn’t an easy thing to do, but it is possible if you love music and have the kind of dedication Chad has. In Los Angeles at The Musicians Institute, he met Aleksandar where they worked together in various musical situations. The word eclectic doesn’t even begin to cover the musical styles they worked on. Chad’s ultimate desire was to be a great rock drummer but playing in so many different situations made him into a great world drummer. He is the beat that drives Bronson’s unique style. Steve grew up in the Los Angeles music scene of the 90’s. Coming from a musical family and playing in various rock and metal bands that helped form the L.A. music scene. Steve is the driven finger-style bass that lies within Bronson. Bronson was formed in the fall of 2004 with only one goal in mind and that is to play music because of the love of music and nothing else. Money and fame sometimes comes around but the fire that fuels this group is a passion for the art, and this you can’t put a price on. Expect to see Bronson touring extensively, not just the US but the rest of the world as well. If there’s a stage, Bronson will be there.
