Zico Chain New Single & UK Tour Dates

• 16th Sep 2009

The power triumvirate that is Zico Chain return with an immense new single “These Birds Will Kill Us All”, alongside new tracks; “Bile N Blood” and “Daycase”; all produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Idlewild).

“These Birds Will Kill Us All” sees Chris Glithero, Paul Frost and Oli Middleton expanding their sound, going from the excellent post grunge of their debut album Food to an aggressive new take on hard rock. No pop punk or pretty pictures here, and now that everyone’s stopped making noise and writing songs, Zico are one step ahead.

Zico Chain are converting the disaffection, frustration and aggression of young British rock fans into a sound that has their crowd tattooing themselves in respect. Having given up the easy life, Zico have spent the last year breaking further away from the conveyor belt bands and the outdated industry, and now have an arsenal of killer riffs with a delivery to match, all honed in their home sweet home; an east London storage space that’s a tower of power in the middle of hoods and hoodies.
