PUNCHY POWER POP:
Speedy Ortiz makes music as though the whole neo-folk thing didn’t happen. The band, fronted by Sadie Dupuis, came bouncing out of Massachusetts in 2013 with “Major Arcana,” an album with bright, cutting lyrics and punchy power-pop tunes that should appeal to fans of Weezer and Elastica. 8 p.m. Sunday at Walter’s, 1120 Naylor; $12-$15; 713-222-2679, waltersdowntown.com.
