SELF-EVIDENT
(

The Onion (Madison)

Self-evident's yelping hardcore punk mixed with crafty math-rock melodies may sound a little immature, but the Minneapolis trio has room to grow.   Many of the songs on the band's new self-titlted album patiently flesh out the kind of quiet passages that other contemporary punk-influenced groups just stick in for dramatic effect.   Even if self-evident favors its gentle side at this show, there'll be plenty of noise:   Chicago's Bear Claw features two basses, and Madison's The Suit has three.   Both bands produce a powerful, dynamic low-end sound that leaves at least a little room for melody.
