This week, National Public Radio gives its stamp of approval to Norman/Tulsa punk act Broncho.

Reports NPR in its "Next" feature: "Broncho crafts sing-along anthems that combine punk and garage-rock. You could make all the likely comparisons to punk bands of the '70s — Ramones, Iggy Pop and The Stooges — or even bring up the new-school garage-rock undertones of The Strokes and The Strange Boys. But that would sell the band short. If anything, it combines the best elements of both genres: raw guitar chords and energy, plus DIY sentiment, but with hi-fi production."

Check out that story, HERE.

PLUS!!! The band performs Wednesday night at Cain's Ballroom with another NPR favorite (and local), JD McPherson. Read more about that here: HERE.
