“Women,” Tacocat vocalist Emily Nokes jokes, “they’re just like us!”
Keen to tackle negative stereotypes attached to feminism, Tacocat are taking the upbeat surf-pop-punk beast by the horns and are not letting go. ‘I Hate The Weekend’ is a catchy, whimsical tune with a genuine socio-political message. As the band explain, it’s about “the bridge-and-tunnel bros who turn their neighborhood into a toilet every weekend.”
The track is taken from the band’s ‘Lost Time’ LP – an X-Files reference, apparently – produced by Erik Blood. “I would describe him generally as a beautiful wizard,” Nokes says of Blood, “who, in our opinion, took the album to the next level. Wizard level.”
‘Lost Time’ will be available from the 1st April 2016, following by a tour in May.
