Zico Chain have always had an eye for success since they signed to Hassle
Records towards the end of 2005 and released their self-titled mini-album
at the start of 2006 and spent from that moment touring as much as they
can. If you were a regular gig goer in 2006, I’m pretty sure you
would of seen the Zico Chain play live as in 2006 the band managed to
support so many big bands from Alkaline Trio, Wolfmother, Thursday, Disturbed,
Cave-In, Nine Black Alps and Velvet Revolver which is a big achievement
in its own due to how different their music is to the bands they supported.
At the start of 2007, Zico Chain started working on their debut full length
studio album and it wasn’t long before they released a new single
'Where Would You Rather Be' as a taster of what to expect from the album,
the song was a guitar driven noisy rock song that really shows how the
Zico Chain have progressed their grunge mixed with metal sound. In the
middle of June the band released their second single 'Anaemia' and the
song was quite a catchy repetitive grunge song that went down well with
the fans and left them wanting more. Four months on since the band released
'Anaemia' their debut album 'Food' is finally finished and is one of the
most anticipated British rock albums of the year.
The album opens up with 'Pretty Pictures', which is quite an explosive
rocking track that features some spot on drumming and guitar riffs and
lets not forget the vocals as they are stunning. Zico Chain released 'Where
Would You Rather Be?' right at the start of 2007 as a taster of what to
expect from their debut album and because the song is such a kick arse
song the band have decided to re-release it a week before their debut
album is out.
One of my favourite songs from the album has to be the title track 'Food',
the song is a fast rocking song where everything is played at 100 miles
per hour and the grunge vocals firing out really make the song. Another
one of my favourite songs has to be 'Roll Over', the song originally appeared
on the bands self titled debut 6 track EP back in early 2006 and due to
how good the song is, the band have decided to re-record it and include
it on their debut album.
It’s not until towards the end of the album you get to the most
stand out track 'All Eyes On Me' which happens to be my favourite track
on the album. The song appears to be more laid back than any of the other
tracks on the album but once the song gets going and the stunning vocals
come in, you realise just how good the song is.
The album finishes with 'Anaemia', which is a good move as it is one of
the heavier songs on the album and one of the bands previous single releases.
I have been looking forward to The Zico Chain album since the start of
2007, it’s been a long wait but the album is finally here and is
even better than what I was expecting, there is no bad moment on the album
and it’s hard to believe that three people can create so much noise
and such a stunning album that really does British music proud.
5/5
