About Me

Hard Taco has been hailed as one of the most influential Urban-folk Eco-rock Chamber Pop bands of this decade. Strongly influenced by the Blendist Noise Pop Cowpunk movement, the Tacos' live show is a delicate admixture of East Coast Neo-emo Proto-ambient, Riot Grrrl Surf Revivalist and Grindcore Electro-goth. At home with both Kraut Rock Go-Go Fusion Crossover and Nu-Ghettotek AfroProg Cowboy Swamp-Bop, Hard Taco can best be described as "Roots" music.Click on the TACO gang sign for more free songs.
