Chico has released new single.video “Too Late.” The accompanying video, directed by drummer Tony Rangel, gives a major nostalgic feel as VHS performance of the band turns into a head trip. The California band’s track arrives after their recent signing to Signing to New Morality Zine. Chico will head out on a short west coast run with support from Dreamcast and Free Concern. On September 25th the band will join Death Lens on tour through Texas and California.

Rangel shares on the song’s lyrics:

“I wrote this song when I was extremely broke and depressed about it. It’s about the way I envy people who are able to just live a simple life. It’s a pretty self explanatory song, but I guess one of the underlying themes is it feels like the system over us is designed for us to not look past what’s in front of us. Go to work, distract yourself until the next thing, and do that everyday – where the lyric ‘throw away my brain’ comes from. ‘Thrown away everyday,’ everyday we say no to what we want in order to make enough money to barely make rent. But that’s just what we were born into so we deal with it until one day we maybe don’t have to.”
