Independent rock group
Texxcoco is a Gran Canaria independent rock band that moved its project to Madrid and linked the island scene with labels, festivals and venues in Spain’s alternative circuit.
Texxcoco was founded in late 2015 in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. After moving to Madrid, the band released two EPs with Clifford Records and the album Disorder with Subterfuge Records. The line-up for that stage includes Adriana Moscoso, Héctor Pérez, Cristian Muñoz and Joshua Delgado. A later stage saw the group as a power trio with lyrics in Spanish.
Their importance lies in showing a recent indie-scene route to professionalisation: leaving the Canary Islands, settling in Madrid, recording with specialist labels and entering festivals such as Primavera Sound, Ebrovisión, Santander Music Festival and Festival Gigante. Their case connects youth, mobility and national alternative-rock networks.
Texxcoco combines alternative rock with noise, punk, post-punk, garage and psychedelia. Its songs are urgent, garage-driven and energetic; in the more recent stage the group leans towards pop without abandoning a 1990s indie base.
Their immediate legacy is transmitted through EPs, albums, venue tours, festivals and specialist programmes. The trajectory shows how a Gran Canaria band can retain origin identity while operating within mainland independent infrastructure.
