Chico Detour

Chico Detour's newest EP 'Wash It Down' is out now on Den Tapes! This band's pulse never learned to calm down. Led by songwriter Sebastian Felipé (Seb), the Seattle band threads surfy garage-leaning guitars, crooked charm, and a hit-of-now immediacy into something loud, alive, and impossible to ignore. The band formed easily, as friends. Michelle taught Seb how to sing. Brennan’s been a brother in music for years. And Christopher, the guitarist , locked into the vision early, shared Seb's fixation on grit, electricity, and garage rock, became the band’s compass. Jacob, already one of the scene’s most trusted drummers, stepped in because he knew exactly how it should hit. They came up in the same Seattle grind and wanted a band that didn’t wait for permission. That feeling showed itself fast after a legendary Too Easy EP release show, early rehearsals that clicked too easily, and the sense they’d all been heading here all along. Their debut EP Too Easy cracked the door, leading to KEXP & Treefort Music Fest and shows with Mark Sultan. , Quasi, Low Cut Connie, The Detroit Cobras, The Okmoniks, The Macks, Mohama Saz, Screen Frogs, MONSTERWATCH, Forty Feet Tall, Gus Baldwin, Abby Jeanne & The Shadowband, & Messer Chups, The 6 song EP, Wash it Down (OUT NOW), has kicked that door wide open.
