Local punk fans have it pretty easy this Friday with the massive lineup of Sick of It All, Street Dogs, and Devil's Brigade gathered at Revolution for a night combining hardcore, the Irish-inflected Boston punk sound, and psychobilly. The latter two acts -- both Hellcat Records signees -- are profiled in Christopher Lopez's lead music feature this week.

Fans of Rancid who have been hiding under a smelly rock for the past few years should note that Matt Freeman and Tim Armstrong from the legendary outfit make up two-thirds of Devil's Brigade, but the faces will be the most similar part of the performance. This stuff is a lot grittier than any of the Clash-inspired side of Rancid.

As for the rest of the week in print:

In our moderate-sized feature section: Why Crystal Castles is the band we love to hate loving, and a handful of reasons why Sleepy Sun is excited by the Sunshine State.

Plus: details on upcoming performances by Asspiss, Pretty Please, John Mayer, Yellow #6, Bleeding Through, and Fucked Up.
