Sonic brethren to acts like The Gaslight Anthem and The Lawrence Arms, The Menzingers play the stuff of crowdsurfers, push-pitters and mic-grabbers, the kind of sing-along anthems that ignite a beer-soaked venue. Tonight, that room will be The Barbary, where the group headlines a bill featuring the soulful, raspy-voiced emotive rock of Restorations and the sprawling hardcore noise of Sore Saints. This is a dynamite line-up; The Menzingers continue to enjoy success from their most recent album, On the Impossible Past, Restorations met critical success with their self-titled, and Sore Saints just got a shoutout in AP magazine off the strength of their demo. It’s no surprise the show’s sold out. Good news for those wanting a buzzing crowd, bad news for those just hearing about it now, but hey: when’s the last time you snuck into a punk gig, anyway? The Barbary, 951 Frankford Ave, 6:30 PM, $12, All Ages – Adam Downer
