Pouty Opening for Tacocat at Underground Arts Oct. 3

Barreling ahead, bratty pop-punk that hits in a pleasant release of pent-up emotion, smacking with sincerity and attitude, Pouty pushes forward. Tonight, Underground Arts plays host as the band’s transitional, foiling elements of close, internalized thoughts emerges from a personal space, gathering strength, while shifting positions, igniting initial intimacy into aggression. It’s reinvigorating, retrograde pop when Queen of Jeans cascading vocal harmony intertwines with tightly spun rhythms, delivering dreamy serenades and groove-shakers alike. These locals will be paired with Nashville grunge-pop trio Daddy Issues and the energetic bump of Seattle pop-punk quartet Tacocat. Underground Arts, 1200 Callowhill St., 9pm, $14, 21+ – Michael Colavita
