Los Angeles quartet Bronco Forte unveil the lead single from their forthcoming full-length debut LP, Lightning Scars, and it lands like a jolt of electricity through the modern heavy rock landscape.
In an era oversaturated with recycled doom tropes, Bronco Forte reconnect with the core elements that made heavy desert rock timeless: driving riffs, indelible melodies, and songs built to last. Channeling the raw spirit of genre-defining bands like Kyuss, Alice In Chains, and Soundgarden, the band delivers a sound that feels both classic and urgently contemporary.
Years of creative groundwork have culminated in Lightning Scars, an album that captures the lives of ordinary people navigating the cities and wild spaces of California and beyond. Its songs balance literary depth with everyday realism, pairing deep, swinging riffs with smart structures and harmonies that bring a flash of pop clarity to the band’s swampy heaviness.
At the center is guitarist and vocalist Chris Klepac’s focused songwriting, intertwined with the energetic riff work of Sako Injaian (All Hail the Yeti). Jen Glomboski (White Forest) and Geoff Summers (Batillus, A Storm of Light) anchor the sound with a relentless rhythmic drive.
Tracked at North Hollywood’s legendary Steakhouse studio and mastered by Nick Townsend, Lightning Scars marks Bronco Forte as a powerful new force in heavy rock.
