Blonde Acid Cult, “Calypso”

The band hails from New York, but this dirty rock song’s got a distinctly British flair. They’re at Mercury Lounge tonight.

Val Emmich, “Get On With It”

The NJ singer rocks out with this peppy but deep ditty. The “Ugly Betty” guest star tends bar for the Stockings With Care charity on Thursday at Bar 13.

The Modern Society, “Promise Land”

Energetic power-pop is the hallmark of this track from the Atlanta band’s Feb. 10 disc “The Beat Goes On.” They’re at the Delancey on Monday.
