Chicle Angel
Who are Chicle?
Chicle (Gum) is a trio formed by 3 Spanish guys who call themselves Clorofila, Fresa Ácida and Menta (Chlorophyll, Strawberry Sour and Mint). Their only goal is to make Rock music 🎸, without aesthetic artifices that could affect what the audience feels when listening to their songs.
They started playing together in 2014, trying to find their sound, without haste, until they finally got it. The result is organic music in Spanish.
Theirs is different, it has a powerful sound, an alternative rock but with a melodic touch that hooks you at first listen. You can tell in every song that everything they do is well thought out and well worked out.
As they themselves say:
We don’t want our image to condition the music, if you like it you play it, and if you don’t, you don’t.

During their 8 years togehter they have written almost 250 songs, so they have an overwhelming amount of material to release.
They know that making a name for themselves in music takes time and that’s why they have gone little by little, until 2022, when they have released EPs (Extra-Play), called ‘Angel’ and ‘Envenenado (Poisoned)‘.
- Each one consists of 6 songs.
- Their idea is to release a new EP every 3 or 4 months until they reach 10.
- It is a real hit that is included in the best of 2022.
- The video features a well-known Spanish comedian called Raúl Cimas, which has given it even more repercussion. Not even Raúl himself could see the members of Chicle 😳
Chicle Envenenado | Second album
Only 3 months after his first EP, Chicle releases ‘Envenenado’, with 6 more hard-hitting tracks:
- Envenenado (Poisoned): A song about falling down and getting up.
- Impostor (Imposter): Tells us to be ourselves, without being influenced by fashions. Something that they carry out to the letter.
- Cansado (Tired): About how we let ourselves go without thinking.
- Besos (Kisses): Criticism of everything superficial around us.
- Profesor (Teacher): A theme that tells us how we learn along the road of life.
- Demonios (Demons): The ones we all have inside us and that, on many occasions, come out on top.
Chicle is not giving concerts yet. They don’t want to do so until they have enough songs to play long concerts. They also want to generate more anticipation before they go for it.
What they haven’t decided yet is whether they will show their faces live or go masked 👺
By the way, I don’t know if when they become better known, which they will! it will cause them problems, but there is another Argentinian band with the same name, ‘Los Chicle’.
