It's a revolution

O.A.R. is coming to the Charter One Pavillion tonight as part of its Sounds of Summer tour. The band, which followed up its 2005 breakout hit “Love and Memories” with 2008's “Shattered (Turn the Car Around),” is touring behind its most recent album, “Live at Red Rocks” along with Allen Stone and Andrew McMahon.

Punk power

Originally formed in 1980, local punk-rock band Naked Raygun — led by Naperville native Jeff Pezzati — is often considered one of the most important Chicago-area bands for adding melody to the driving punk beat. The band's recent incarnation, reformed in 2006, has remained a permanent fixture on Chicago's punk scene. Naked Raygun sold out Metro's Saturday show, but tickets are on sale for an added second gig Friday.

9 p.m Friday, June 28, at Metro, 3730 N. Clark St., Chicago. $23; metrochicago.com.
