Earlier this summer, SoCal punk/hardcore hybrid Chico submitted a stellar introductory LP with their self-assured, self-titled debut. A presentation rooted in hardcore ethos and packed with punchy punk rock dynamics, the emerging collective showed serious potential well beyond their youth.

Combining songwriting savvy with an infectious energy that translated well from the stage and captured on record, Chico had a sleeper on their hands with a self-titled effort worthy of the name. 

Emphasizing the kind of legs the album has, Chico has submitted another music video from the project that properly conveys the charge of their brand. Teaming with director Joel Verges, the clip for "Doubt It" showcases the songwriting spark of the collective with guitarists Danny Chavez and Jake Palma blaring over the top of bassist Dawson Souisa's warm groove.

Daring to implement pop sensibilities into their brand of punk, frontman Lance Gibson submits a confident showing that makes the track especially convincing. 

Drummer Tony Rangel shared of the single, "This is a song most of us in the band agree is one of our best songs. It’s a song about depression, doubt, and the fear of failure. Sometimes the fear of failure isn’t as scary as the fear of not trying. We wanted the music video to sort of emulate the feeling of the album cover - a high energy feeling, it’s pretty simple as that!"

The video lands following Chico's most recent tour run with Death Lens. The band will take the etage later this month for a set at Knucklehead Hollywood along with support from labelmates Lesser Care on November 19th. 

The self titled LP from Chico is now available via New Morality Zine. Get the album - HERE
