Zico Chain
New single ‘Where Would You Rather Be?’
Released May 7th on Hassle Records

You must’ve noticed there’s something big happening in British rock – young, hungry bands reacting against formulaic US rock-by-numbers who’re over-hyped, over-cooked, over-here and soon to be over….period. The Charge Of The Dark Brigade has begun.
Zico Chain are three lads in their early twenties, who are part of this new slew of UK guitar bands. They’re sick of the (scr)emo-attention-seeking, and want to grab their own slice of the pie. The trio have distilled the punk riffola of Motorhead, the druggy vision of QOTSA, the musical skills and visual impact of the White Stripes, and a 21st century homegrown social consciousness. It’s a potent brew, worthy of a hard-rocking, hard-living, hard-thinking east London outfit.
Touring the UK with Alkaline Trio, Thursday, Wolfmother, Fall Of Troy and Nine Black Alps before recording their album in LA with godfather of rock Joe Barresi (Bad Religion, Tool, QOTSA), Zico Chain have been winning over friends, lovers and bartenders on both sides of the Atlantic with their message…..Celebrate Yourself, Use Your Voice, Get ****ed Up.
Their debut single ‘Where Would You Rather Be?’ sounds like survival itself, kicking off about hopelessness and mental escapism with a daylight shredding voice over a sick rhythm section rumble….. “Low living my system crashed, God gave me an autograph… No future, that’s for sure, so stop trying and pray for cures.”
Already a Radio 1 rock show Record Of The Week, it’s released on the 7th of May through Hassle Records. The band also embark on a mammoth UK tour during April and May...
