“Where Would You Rather Be?” Released on October 8th via Hassle Records.
British rock band in NO HYPE shocker!! Zico Chain are taking the long way to the top, winning people over person by person, gig by gig, track by track... and they’re loving every minute!
Since you last looked…
They’re Slash and Duff’s favourite new band.
They’ve been in MTV2s chart for the last two months, two weeks at Number 1.
Kids around the country are tattooed with the band’s logo.
This single’s been a Radio 1 rock show Record Of The Week.
One of their fans’ mum bakes cakes for them and brings them to the gigs.
The Zico Army is growing fast, and the man himself would be proud of the terrace chanting at the shows - just check the photos. It’s all here, including pet-called-zico pics (a dog, a cat and a snake so far)… MySpace.com - ZICO CHAIN - London, UK - Alternative / Rock - www.myspace.com/zicochain and the debut album’s not even out yet!
Zico Chain are three lads in their early twenties who are part of this new slew of UK guitar bands who are sick of (scr)emo-attention-seeking and are about to grab their slice of the pie. The trio have distilled the punk riffola of Motorhead, the druggy vision of QOTSA, the musical discipline of the White Stripes and a 21st century homegrown social consciousness to create a potent brew worthy of a hard-rocking, hard-living, hard-thinking east London outfit.
Touring with Alkaline Trio, Thursday, Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, Wolfmother, Velvet Revolver and recording their album in LA with godfather of rock Joe Barresi (Bad Religion, Tool, QOTSA), Zico Chain are smashing it both sides of the Atlantic, with their message of celebrate yourself, use your voice, get ****ed up.
‘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. This is anti-corporate, musical sustenance for those tired of identikit bands, a real state(ment) of independence.
Zico Chain’s brilliant debut album ‘Food’ will be released on October 15th.

18-Nov Southampton Joiners
19-Nov London Underworld
20-Nov Bristol Academy
22-Nov Cambridge The Graduate
