The Philadelphia (by way of Allentown) noise rock purveyors Pissed Jeans are golden gods around these parts. Their brusque version of hardcore – sludgy, vagrant sensory assaults crusted with throaty brays best defined in 2009’s King of Jeans (Sub Pop) – has gotten the word-of-mouth treatment, packing venues like sardines just through meager curiosity. And their evocatively mutinous live sets certainly raise the ante, taking Pissed Jeans up scores of notches from “buzz worthy” to absolutely necessary. So, as if your life depended on it, go to Johnny Brenda’s tonight and watch them tear it down with Eddy Current Suppression Ring. Johnny Brenda’s, 1201 N. Frankford Ave., 8pm, $10, 21+ – Annamarya Scaccia
