The Band

El Sancho is a DIY punk trio from Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi. Since 2019 they’ve been firing off fast, hook-heavy three-chord songs and tearing up stages across Hawaii and beyond, sharing bills with TSOL, FEAR, Agent Orange, D.O.A., Supersuckers, and Teenage Bottlerocket. Latest LP “Roll Right Over You” (2025) was praised in MRR #510 for sing-along choruses and lyrical depth.
