The beauty of this world is that even the biggest joke can transform into a runaway success. Take Sunami, a hardcore band that’s arguably become the biggest musical act to come out of the South Bay in years. The group’s members started Sunami in 2019 as a joke, parodying the more cringy elements of the hardcore music arena. Their satirical lyrics and meme-worthy live performances, however, quickly gained steam. Sunami has become something of a revelation in a few short years, touring the world and picking up a legion of fans thanks to their brutal beatdown sound and commitment to the joke. Case in point: they might be the first hardcore band to headline the San Jose Civic Auditorium.
