Eight Gigs: Tacocat

With songs that are structured around crazy catchy melodies and grungy riffs, Tacocat’s music is rich with modern feminism. Songs such “Crimson Wave” tackle a topic such as getting your period into a sweet candy crush of a ditty that recalls the best of ’90s-era bands such as the Muffs and Bratmobile. The band’s latest album, 2016’s Lost Time, exudes a less polished garage vibe that’s just as hummable with tracks such as “I Hate the Weekend,” “You Can’t Fire Me, I Quit,” and “Men Explain Things to Me” that are at once breezy, relatable and topical.
