Charles Bronson was a powerviolence / thrashcore band from DeKalb in Illinois, active between 1994-1997.
From Wikipedia -
Often associated with the straight edge scene, only two of the members actually abstained from drug and alcohol use.
Charles Bronson borrowed from the early powerviolence of Infest, who blended youth crew hardcore with the velocity and dissonance of thrashcore. Songs were very brief, and sometimes punctuated by samples taken from various media (including Charles Bronson films). Lyrically, the group tended towards satirical commentary on the hardcore punk scene.
Vocalist Mark McCoy went on to form the thrashcore group Das Oath, with Dutch musicians; Holy Molar, with members of The Locust; and Ancestors, a black metal project. Guitarist Mike Sutfin later became an artist.
