With all the local funk, jazz and independent rock floating around, it’s easy to forget that Ohio has one of the most vital hardcore punk scenes in the United States. And in that scene, Cleveland breakdown-dealers Ringworm are royalty; they cut their first record in 1991. Their music is as energetic as it is acidic. How acidic, you may ask? Well, they call Ringworm’s singer the “Human Furnace” for good reason. Expect a set culled from their 2011 album, Scars, as well as their critically-acclaimed debut, The Promise. Support at this show will come from Chicago’s Encrust, who recently played town as direct support to TCP-featurted artist Author and Punisher. $10. 8pm. Frankies Inner City, 308 S. Main St. 419-693-5300.
