SATURDAY: Pissed Jeans @ Johnny Brenda’s

Allentown’s Pissed Jeans are just like the rest of us. They also face life’s problems: balding, tiredness after a full night’s rest and a waning desire to socialize to help break up the daily grind. And perhaps the grind is getting to them, they’ve only dropped two songs since 2009’s King of Jeans. That would be 2010’s Sam Kinison Woman EP, whose riffs didn’t bear the same amount of destruction but kept an eye down the barrel of noise and hardcore. When Korvette sings, “Love is a word I use to describe/ The way I feel inside,” on “The L Word,” you’ll pick up on his tongue-in-cheek sentiment but you’ll be dodging — or maybe dealing — swinging arms and stomping boots.

Sat., Jan. 14, 9:30 p.m., $10-$12, with Blues Control & Inner Gaze, Johnny Brenda’s 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 215-739-9684, johnnybrendas.com.
