The quartet of Sonny Knockout’s debut EP will arrive later this year via Hidden Gem Records. Until then, those looking to hop on board the band’s backend-bumping brand of enthusiastic rock should head on over to Boot & Saddle this evening. Jumping into weekend mode, Sonny Knockout pulls no punches, creating upbeat grooves, sweeping listeners into a refreshing summer current, while serving as a catalyst to their sing-along sound. Tonight, they’ll be joined by the attitude-drenched, rumble-shaking, power-pop of The Up! Up! Ups! and raw, infectious rock of San Diego’s The Soaks. Boot & Saddle, 1131 S. Broad St., 8:30pm, $8, 21+ – Michael Colavita
