Saturday night and you’ve got nothing good to do – kick it at O’Brien’s tonight and catch a rad show full of hardcore and punk crossover! Arizona desert-walkers Calabrese (Spookshow Records) dish up creepy, catchy-as-hell hardcore a la Misfits that’s full of thick bass riffs, pulsing guitar chugs, and snappy drum flares. The Black Cheers are about as gritty as it gets: part pure 80s hardcore, part skate punk, and part garage jam, this band is snotty and won’t let you forget it. Weak Week (Southern NH) combines typically-pop-punk riffs with deep, gravelly vox and big, spacey sound. And the cleverness of Millennium Falcon Punch
‘s name is not the only thing they’ve got going for them – they’re sure to serve up some light-speed, hard-handed hardcore jams. Get yourself to the one and only O’Brien’s in Allston and dig this diverse menagerie of bands.
