STORMY: San Jose's own Sunami bring the SJHC hardcore scene to the Cupertino X-Bar.

Over the course of the pandemic, San Jose emerged as the new capital of hardcore punk, with bands generating buzz for their cult live performances and dropping critically acclaimed records left and right. Sunami is perhaps the most-hyped of these acts, their second-ever live performance this last June in a San Jose parking lot attracting 2,000 punks from around the country. After a stint of sold-out shows all over, the pioneers of “ignorant hardcore” are bringing their proudly stupid, loud and ugly music to the place where it all began, and bringing Oxnard riffmasters Dead Heat along with them.
