Al Sancho – guitar/vox, Captain Tony – drums, Nate the Grate – bass

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 their fourth album Roll Right Over You comes out on 8/23/2025

Their song topics 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 TSOL, Strung Out, FEAR, Bad Cop Bad Cop, M.D.C., Agent Orange, Supersuckers, Teenage Bottlerocket, D.I., Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Koffin Kats, D.O.A. and more.
