Morning State, Winston Audio, The Winter Sounds
9 p.m., Farm 255
About Atlanta’s (with heavy Athens connections) Morning State, Spin Magazine said, “unpretentious, straight forward, hook laden rock. The band’s uncontrived, shtick-less sonic was warmly welcomed.” They have a new album coming out May 6. Winston Audio, also from the ATL, plays a driving, hooky alt-indie rock. The Winter Sounds has a little lighter indie-rock sound and will be hitting the studio in July. - David Bill

Pepper, Redeye Empire, Iration
8 p.m. today, 40 Watt
Pepper is a reggae rock trio that was formed in Hawaii. Now living in Southern California, Pepper’s sound has evolved into California soul and summer anthems. The band has toured with 311 and Snoop Dogg. Redeye Empire, formerly known as just Redeye, plays a high energy mixture of rock, pop, ska and reggae. Another Hawaiian band that relocated to California, Iration plays new roots music, which they describe as a fusion of reggae, rock and dub. Tickets are $15 in advance. - Trisha Klein
