As long as there's rock 'n' roll, there will always be bands like Ringworm — bands who love what they do. Established in 1989, the Cleveland-based act blurs lines building a solid punishing wall of noise. Frontman Human Furnace lives up to the moniker while his band is unrelentingly furious, creating a barroom blitz that sends other bands whimpering back to the garage. Trust me, this shit is not easy to pull off. Unearth, Fit For An Autopsy, Culture Killer, Great American Ghost, and Living In Daydreams also perform.

Ringworm performs on Friday, March 18, at Montage Music Hall, 50 Chestnut Street. 7:30 p.m. $20-$22. themontagemusichall.com; facebook.com/Ringworm13.
