CRUISR headlines a three-pronged billing of local bands this evening at Johnny Brenda’s. The lineup, which also includes Tutlie and Suburban Living, shares the thread of easily lovable, movement-enticing music. The quartet of CRUISR serves up naturally positive bounce that bubbles over, pushed by a melodic core and sustained by a constant percussive pop and subtly sharp reinforcing guitar lines. Tutlie occupy the middle slot surrounding you in an intricately designed orchestra of sound that lifts one into the upper atmosphere, rather than weighing you down with their powerful vocal interplay. Wesley Bunch guides the heart-pumping emotive synth-pop vehicle of Suburban Living, jumpstarting your night while weaving in and out of the shadows with a combination of urgency and ease. Johnny Brenda’s 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 9pm, $12, 21+ – Michael Colavita
