Tacoblaster returns with "Toxic Surfer", the first single taken from an upcoming album set to be released on January 30th 2026

More than a year after their fourth sun-drenched and spontaneous album Chew Goo Gum-Like Substance, Bordeaux-based garage pop trio Tacoblaster - led by Tom Caussade - returns with "Toxic Surfer", the first single taken from an upcoming album set to be released on January 30th 2026 via French indie labels Flippin’ Freaks Records, Howlin’ Banana Records and Les Disques Du Paradis.

There is no warming up - Tacoblaster throws us straight in at the deep water with a frantic splash of lo-fi surf punk infected with detached electronic music and rough-edged garage rock that races headlong towards the beach. Vocals clash, echoes sprint towards the nearest parasol, and layers of fuzz pile up until the drums are practically drowned. "Toxic Surfer" calls to mind late-2000s Californian bands like Wavves, FIDLAR or Traditionnal Fools.

The single drops with a music video directed by Tom Caussade. A clear nod to B-movies and their delightfully dodgy special effects - think absurd costumes and DIY trickery that instantly take you back to childhood. Picture aliens landing - not to melt your brain, but to surf the sickest wave in the galaxy.
