The Coathangers have come a long way since releasing a self-titled debut in September 2007. Scramble, the sophomore album from Atlanta's premier lady punk quartet (their first was released on Rob's House) is full of the noisy, yappy, sometimes endearing, and sometimes squelching chatter that has made them such a divisive act. But there's an air of confidence driving the sharper writing and visceral deliveries on such songs as "Toomerhead" and "Arthritus Sux."

$8. 8 p.m. The Earl, 488 Flat Shoals Rd. 404-522-3950.
