El Sancho - Hawaii

El Sancho is a fast, fun punk rock band from the Big Island of Hawaii. They've been together since 2019 and sometimes get compared bands like Descendents, Agent Orange,The Mr. T Experience and Screeching Weasel.

They've shared the stage with bands like D.O.A., The Cutthroat Brothers, D.I., and recently spent three nights on tour with the Supersuckers.

The band released two albums in 2021. The most recent album, Jollier Than Thou was full of original holiday songs. Merry Christmas Joey Ramone was picked up by radio stations across the world, including SiriusXM, and featured on several "best holiday songs of 2021" lists, including The Huffington Post. Razorcake zine reviewed the cassette edition of Jollier Than Thou and said El Sancho "do a strangely effective job of using Christmas themes to channel pretty damn astute observations on the global zeitgeist."

Maximumrocknroll called their first album, Our Part in the Darkness, “catchy and infectious.” The album has a central theme of despair and bleakness and was written during the waning years of the Trump presidency. Razorcake said “El Sancho handles the endless American nightmare era well.”

Their third album "Heads Up!" will be released in mid-2023.
