Chicosci (officially stylized as ChicoSci) is a Filipino rock band based in Manila. The band is currently composed of Miggy Chavez, Mong Alcaraz, Eco del Rio and Victor Guison. The group's musical style primarily consists of rock with an emphasis of experimentation from nu metal and rap metal to pop-punk, post-hardcore and emo.
The highly successful debut record established support for Chico Science as one of the forerunners of the new generation of rock. Revenge of the Giant Robot spawned hits such as "Amen", "Soopafly", and the MTV hit, "Sink or Swim". This album was also nominated to the prestigious Awit Awards for Best Rock Recording. Their first-ever music video "Sink or Swim", directed by Lyle Sacris, also won as the Best Directed Video for the 2001 MTV Pilipinas Awards. Later on, they decided to change the name Chico Science to ChicoSci, in order not to be confused with the Brazilian singer.
On June 6, 2006, ChicoSci released and launched their self-titled 4th album. Having been in the studio for more than a year, the band boasts it as being their best work to date. The self-produced album features catchier melodies and more synth playing from Alcaraz. At the same time, there is minimal screaming and more focus on Chavez's singing, the most obvious change on the self-titled album. On March 2, 2007, the repackaged edition of the self titled album were released.
With the release of their carrier single "A Promise", ChicoSci gained more popularity as their market grew. ChicoSci went on to play in Malaysia and Singapore as well as local hot spots like Cafe Saguijo. The album has spawned four singles, "A Promise", "Seven Black Roses", "ChicoSci Vampire Social Club" and "Last Look". The music video for "ChicoSci Vampire Social Club" won the Favorite Rock Video at the 2008 Myx Music Awards.
