Are you sick of the number of poppy acts these days calling themselves punk bands? The word “punk” is being thrown around the music scene like the phrase “rock ‘n’ roll” once was when every band aspired to be Led Zeppelin, but fell way short. Well, rest assured that the term “punk” hasn’t lost its meaning when you are talking about Philly’s own Sickoids. The hardcore punk outfit pulls from a variety of regions in the genre to make bludgeoning sonic assaults that would make their forefathers proud. They’ll be opening for Swedish four-piece Terrible Feelings tonight at Kung Fu Necktie (and I have no clue why), and will also be joined by local badass post post-punk trio Moon Women, who enjoy wading in a pool of darkness and reverb. Kung Fu Necktie, 1250 N. Front St., 8pm, $8, 21+ – Alexis V.
