San Jose street punks the Forgotten remember the English class of late-'70s troublemakers as well as anyone. Their last album, Keep the Corpses Quiet (TKO Records), came straight from the same gutter that spawned Rancid's Let's Go -- snotty, class-conflict punk as practiced by Sham 69 and the Exploited. (As it happens, guitarist Craig moonlights with Lars Frederiksen's Bastards.) In advance of a new album, Control Me, that's due this summer on Youth Brigade's BYO Records, the Forgotten are at the Century Lounge (401-751-2255) in Providence on Saturday with the Ducky Boys and the Midnight Creeps. On Sunday, they're at the Middle East (617-864-EAST) in Cambridge with Crash and Burn, the Losing Kind, and the painfully mismatched Okkervil River, a group of native New Englanders now living in Texas who have to their credit a couple albums' worth of shambolic but precious singer-songwriterly roots pop. You can also catch Okkervil River on Friday at AS220 (401-831-9327) in Providence and on Saturday at the Free Street Taverna (207-775-3380) in Portland.
