In advance of its fourth album, It’s Got to Be Now, set for release in April, Boston-based Aloud will take to Great Scott alongside Brooklyn’s Cold Blood Club. While the retro rock four-piece will likely debut some new material at the show, you can expect plenty of the classics as well: the band’s first three discs (and especially its most recent, Exile) were critically acclaimed by publications including Driftwood Magazine and Stereo Subversion. Eight-piece indie dance outfit Cold Blood Club will play in support of a new album as well, previewed by recent single “Down.” If you want to get a taste of Aloud’s sound before the show, check out Elmore Magazine’s premiere of the new single “A Little Bit Low” here, then check out both bands at Great Scott on January 11. – Jake Reed

Four-piece rock band Aloud’s summer tour will bring them back home tomorrow, July 27th, with a show at T.T. the Bear’s Place in Cambridge. The band will follow that show with an appearance at the KahBang Festival, held in Bangor, ME August 9th-12th. The shows may include new material from the prospective follow-up of their latest full-release, 2010’s “Exile.” Since “Exile,” Aloud has released a few non-album singles, including 2011’s “The Cash and the Pearls,” which features an all-time great opening line: “Ever wonder why they hate you?” Check out Aloud tomorrow night live, and listen to “The Cash and the Pearls” streaming below. - Josh Johnson
