Seattle metal band Tacos! functioned for nearly a decade as a two-piece band whose sonic MO is driving, in your face, thrumming wildness. Well-known for their boisterous live shows, played regularly all over town, members Lupe Flores and Donovan Stewart were often approached after shows by friends and audience members asking to join the band as their third member. Their answer was always the same: Nah. We're good. During Covid isolation, however, is when Hozoji Matheson-Margullis (of Seattle heavyweights Helms Alee) asked to join. This time, the answer was a no-brainer: it was a logical, organic fit, slotting into the band like a blade into a sheath. They'd been good friends for many years, and their chemistry was already there. When Hozoji joined Tacos!, the tectonic shift that followed was massive: fuller and heavier, yet maintaining sincerity and a thundering sound. The band members all share in the lyric writing and vocal duties, blending their voices in an evocative aural tapestry. Loss, death, disconnection, and passion power this band's thematic fuel cells. Their new album 3, a roiling sonic departure from their previous works sees them grasping at - and seizing - big sounds, big meaning, and big feelings.
