Pop Music

Anaheim pop-punk band Handsome Devil, which opens for Zebrahead on Sunday at House of Blues, plays its first hometown show since the release of the quartet’s unusually confident debut album, “Love and Kisses from the Underground.” Tapping his vast storehouse of musical and lyrical hooks, lead singer-guitarist-songwriter Danny Walker follows honorably in the footsteps of such O.C. punk luminaries as Social Distortion’s Mike Ness and the Offspring’s Dexter Holland .

Handsome Devil and Zebrahead, House of Blues, 1530 S. Disneyland Drive, Anaheim. 7p.m. $15.50. (714) 778-2583.
