El Sancho is a fast fun DIY punk rock band from the Big Island of Hawaii. They’ve been playing around the Hawaiian islands since 2019 and have released two albums and a slew of singles. Their third album Heads Up! comes out in late 2023.
Their songs range from political to personal, but they try to not take themselves too seriously. Razorcake magazine said El Sancho “handles the endless American nightmare era well” and Maximumrocknroll called them “catchy and infectious.” Their witty lyrics have drawn comparisons to bands like Screeching Weasel, Mr T Experience and Bad Religion. For some guys who hit their teenage years in the 1990s, I can’t think of a better compliment.
El Sancho has played alongside legends like D.I., The Cutthroat Brothers and D.O.A., and supported the Supersuckers and Agent Orange for all dates on their recent Hawaiian tours. In 2023 they have upcoming shows across Hawaii scheduled with Teenage Bottlerocket, Koffin Kats, FEAR, M.D.C. and more.
