You know a show’s gonna be good when Meatwound comes out to play.

The somewhat reclusive Tampa hardcore giant supports a legend of the Florida thrash scene, Venice’s No Fraud, which careened into the scene in the mid-’80s before unleashing about a dozen albums and EPs while also appearing on countless comp cassettes, splits and records including Gnome’s 1992 antifascist tape and the famed “We Can’t Help It If We’re From Tampa” documentary.

Set to go Destructo (an ode to the band’s founder Dan Destructo) along with No Fraud is Shanghai punk band Roundeye and St. Petersburg hardcore outfit Last Bias.

The Nest will never be the same after this.

Tickets to see No Fraud play The Nest at St. Pete Brewing Co. on Saturday, July 29 are still available and start at $8.
