Women, What More Can You Ask For? at JR’s Aug. 20

When it comes to brash in your face hardcore punk with churning guitar chords and a dervish of vocals, Women are the band that has the Jim Beam flowing. And with their latest outing No Reasons (you can listen to on their website), which was tag team released by FDH and Resurrection Records, they might’ve just tipped the scales of unapologetic crudeness with songs like “Got No Brains”, “Someone Else”, and “KGB” tossing drunken lullabies at the night and then quickly fading out in a fervor of venom. When they play JR’s tonight, it’s going to be a sloppy mess that stays true to the punk of old! Also staying true to that direction will be hard hitters Smoker and the Rollers, who are getting ready to release a debut album sometime this fall. JR’s, 2327 S. Croskey St., 9pm, $5, 21+ – Bill McThrill
