Zico Chain

Zico Chain’s ‘Anaemia’ is to receive its digital release today through Hassle Records, and will also receive a limited physical release on 7” on the 23rd. ‘Anaemia’ follows on from last single ‘Where Would You Rather Be?’, once again showcasing some impeccably strong guitar work, top vocal styling, and deadly drum beats. I wouldn’t say this is as good as their last release, but it is still an extremely virile track showing them to be a formidable force with intense power and precision displayed here throughout. The track doesn’t in my opinion portray the band at their best, but then again they don’t come across badly here either. Zico Chain are a three piece all in their early twenties, and I for one can’t wait for them to release an album. They’re touring heavily at the moment, but when the album is given a release later this year it is bound to be a musical powerhouse. Zico Chain are without a doubt one of the most exciting and intriguing of British bands out there at the moment.

Zico Chain are a UK guitar driven rock band with a powerful sound and a talent for penning a fine rock track. As such, they have managed to tour the UK in support of the likes of Alkaline Trio, Thursday, Wolfmother, and Fall of Troy. ‘Where Would You Rather Be’ is an extremely strong single, and although both vocally and musically this track at times sounds very much like Marilyn Manson’s ‘The Beautiful People’ – their sound is generally very much their own. This track works extremely well with strong guitars coming through, some fine vocal work, and quality drum beats. Right from the offset you know that this is going to be a single to remember with it’s powerful opening, and it manages to keep this great momentum throughout – a feat that many band fail to pull off. It is clear that the band have spent much time perfecting this track and in doing so have managed to release one hell of a fine single. Currently writing and recording an album to be released toward the end of 2007 – Zico Chain are a British band to watch out for.
