‘Bob-Core’: Goth Rock Band Is Making Waves on the Internet for Sounding Like a Heavy Metal Bob Belcher From ‘Bob’s Burgers'

If you stereotype metal heads, goths, punks, and all other fans of music genres that usually have everyone donning all black outfits, then you imagine some serious looking, tatted up person, who would rather pull out their septum piercing than allow someone to make fun of their music. However, if you know or are one of these rockers, then you know that that is simply not the case. In fact, you can argue that since the music is usually all about telling the world to f off, then why would we take any second of life all that seriously? If we can't take a joke, then you're a poser, man. The band Dead On A Sunday glorious proves just that. 

The independent goth rock/dark wave group releases heavy emotional tunes reminiscent of Joy Division, The Fall, and even Bauhaus. You'd think with that sort of dedication to the music, they would be a serious bunch not to mess around with, but the reaction they had when a TikToker said the vocals sounded like Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers proves they can gracefully take a joke. 

In fact, they didn't just embrace this new “Bob-core” title, they took it another step forward and created a fun little TikTok video of Bob Belcher singing one of their songs—a cover mashup of “After Dark” by Mr Kitty and “Dammit” by Blink-182. You seriously cannot un-hear Belcher now that it has been brought to everyone's attention, but the band has been happy to make it part of their personality and now they share an epic inside joke with all of the Internet. Actually pretty brilliant from a marketing standpoint. 

The band even now describes themselves as sometimes sounding like Bob Belcher and it's epic. “I ran to Spotify so fast,” one person commented. “Bob core is awesome,” another commenter said. “It not only sounds like him, it sounds like something he would sing while cooking a burger after someone called his shop a greasy burger joint and he offered to cook them the best burger they've ever had,” one person added. 

Hopefully. the Bob-core route is helping this sick independent band get a little more attention than they usually would. Perhaps one day there will even be a Dead On A Sunday and Bob's Burgers collab. We can dream!
