Tuscadero was an indie rock band from Washington, DC, one of the most prominent on the Washington-based TeenBeat Records roster. The band, which took its name from the Happy Days character Leather Tuscadero, crafted a blissful pop punk influenced by girl groups and the pop culture of its members' 1970s childhoods. Formed in late 1993, Tuscadero released three 7 singles, an album, and an EP on Teenbeat before signing to Elektra Records in 1995.

Although the band broke up in 1999, they reunited in February 2005 for a one-off performance at TeenBeat's twentieth anniversary celebration.
