While in the depths of a cold Boston winter, some up-and-coming bands want to warm you up with sets of rowdy, beer-soaked garage rock songs. Chicago-based rockers The Orwells, which opens for Arctic Monkeys on Feb. 6 at Agganis Arena (also with Deerhunter, 7:30 p.m., $45, all ages), is all the buzz after its raucous set last month on “Letterman.” They’re not alone, and if a few choice labels have some say, we may be in for another garage rock revival. Raw, fuzzy rock and roll featuring guitars front and center is the sort of music that breeds camaraderie, and it’s not surprising that many labels focus on the rowdy genre of rock. Check out six other garage rock acts coming to Boston soon — and the labels that helped develop them.
By the way, if you want to catch The Orwells on a smaller stage, it also headlines Great Scott on March 2 (with Twin Peaks, Silver Palms; 9 p.m., $12/$15, 18+).
