WACO (pronounced as in Waco, Texas) are an anarchic band from London. Their version of rock ‘n roll is one laced with metaphysics, conspiracy theories and spirituality, which makes them oddballs in both the rock world and the punk scene.
But in that, WACO are a breath of fresh cosmic air – ambitious, creative and wonderfully weird friends. They’ve always done things in their own way – whether it’s preaching a warped gospel on the streets of central London or gallivanting around a desert dressed as cosmic nomads. With this in mind, it’s no wonder they collect heads and hearts wherever they go.
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mnE_WybiMXE&w=560&h=315]The band have already received support from the likes of Dan Carter on Radio 1 and Zane Lowe. They supported Juliette and the Licksacross Europe as well as supports with Slaves and Anti-Flagin the UK. They are also signed to USA label Standby Records.
December 2018 saw tragedy hit the band when bassist Chris passed away. The band have regrouped and decided to release the album featuring Chris’s playing later in 2019. Vocalist Jak says, “This album is dedicated to our bassist Chris who sadly passed away after recording it. Through this music he will forever.”
The band are set to tour the UK at the end of 2019, with their old friend James Robinson joining them on bass.

Jak from the band said, “Magic is real. I’ve seen it and heard it many times, but most importantly I have felt it in my soul. It surrounds us. Nature, art, love and community are all made of magic. This album is about Human Magic andabout how life can be difficult, mystical and wonderful all at once.
