    Wow, never heard of this. I watched the video and now I really want to know more. Is this considered legendary because it ended up being better than it had any right to be? That was the vibe I got. I went in expecting it to just be “lol Denny’s”, but it felt like more than that. I’m just curious about the legacy here.

      As hardcore goes, they have a decent flow, dude hits his mark on his screams and doesn’t waver, drums, bass and guitarwork are good. 8/10 band in a 5/10 location. The legendary part is the meme-ness of playing that in a Denny’s, and knowing and allowing the crowd to mosh there. As a scene, it’s funny at first glance.

          Their band has Botch and Deadguy energy, early Every Time I Die, with some Chariot and Norma Jean tossed in for good measure. Not quite grindcore, not clean or melodic enough to be metalcore. I’d say call them hardcore metal and leave it at that.

      I agree with everything @Trampampoline said but will add that frankly “What the fuck’s up, Denny’s?” is just such a hilariously surreal statement in the context of the music that it was just instantly meme gold.

      And if you liked that, check out Live Without’s album; it’s not revelatory or anything, but it’s a totally solid, aggressive, and fun hardcore release.
