Youth takes center stage tonight at PhilaMOCA. Idle Idols bring the aggressive pissed off edge of punk rock and play it with an air of California-cool. While the songs are still focused in a high-energy down-hill “play it like it sounds” mentality, the band also does its due diligence in placing an emphasis on creating a crisp complete sound. Sam Roland and Andrew Migliore click in a united guitar front – both in following the direction from where one leads to where the other is going and also in showcasing the capabilities of an a intricate dual-guitar threat. Speaking of California, Cruiser, the solo exploits Andy States, takes that idea and works through it in a pop-rock direction that utilizes simple catchy grooves and punctual bursts of guitar that will have his songs echoing in your ears well into the upcoming week. They’ll be hosting Boston’s Pretty & Nice. PhilaMOCA, 531 North 12th St., 8pm, $8 – $10, All Ages – Michael Colavita
