The hardcore punk band Zeke was formed in Seattle in 1993.

There are rock ‘n’ roll bands and then there are true, rip-roarin’, all-caps RAWK ‘n’ roll bands — the kind that plug in their amps, crank ‘em up to 11, start melting faces and don’t stop till all the faces are just puddles on the floor.

Two of those kinds of bands are touring America at the moment, with a stop at Bend’s Volcanic Theatre Pub scheduled for Saturday night. First up is Zeke, the long-running Seattle-based band that formed in 1993, at the peak of their hometown scene’s moment in the sun.

Since then, Zeke has been a remarkably consistent rock ‘n’ roll machine, playing a combination of punk and thrash metal that sounds like someone put a Motörhead record on the turntable and then set it to speed up until it shatters. In their official bio, they call their music “a manic, methamphetamine lab distillation of early American hardcore and classic rock,” which sounds exactly right.

Zeke has been around a long time but not as long as the night’s headliner, the Cosmic Psychos. They’re currently on tour celebrating their 40th anniversary as a band, having formed in the early 1980s in Australia, where they started out playing no-frills punk rock with a dark, grunge-y edge, like the Ramones crossed with the Psychos’ local punk heroes The Birthday Party.

Eventually, the band’s fuzzed-out guitar sound, catchy melodies and straightforward punk songs would be cited as a major influence on the Seattle sound, specifically Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam and Kurt Cobain of Nirvana. “Once I heard (their) music and saw ‘em play live,” Vedder has said, “that was my baptism, I kind of understood.”

Cosmic Psychos, with Zeke and The Bangers: 7 p.m. Saturday, $20, Volcanic Theatre Pub, 70 SW Century Drive, Bend, volcanictheatre.com.
