Upcoming Releases

On August 14th California band Chico will release their debut album through New Morality Zine. Across the ten tracks on Chico, the band deliver a mix of alternative rock, punk, and hardcore full of big energy. Having already shared single “Too Late” and hooky “Blur,” the band has now unleashed the fast ripping single “Can’t Be.” Clocking in at less than two minutes, the track gives an aggressive blow with thumping rhythms and fiery vocals

Drummer Tony Rangel shares on the lyrical inspiration for “Can’t Be”:

“This song is about how it feels like there’s no winning the fight between your survival and happiness. You can’t help what kind of life you’re born into, but you can try your best to turn it into something you’re proud of. For some people, dreams and aspirations can feel like luxuries; while for others, there exists no other reality but to do what you want without worrying about survival. Some people are free to make choices that could cost everything to someone less fortunate. They can tell me I’m free, but it doesn’t always feel like it.”

Chico was produced by Taylor Hecocks at his home studio in Orange, CA with drums recorded with Adam Castilla at Brick Mansion Recordings in Fullerton, and mixing and mastering by Scott Goodrich from San Francisco.
