Gorilla Nems (born Travis Doyle) has been on the road promoting a confrontational new album recorded with Scram Jones (Rise Of The Silverback), described by Sway’s Universe as “the hardest album of 2023.”

It starts with a warning to cover your kids’ ears if you’re listening with them in the car, just to launch into 34 minutes of serve after scathing serve, best enjoyed while you’re cleaning the kitchen at the end of a dinner rush.

The 41-year-old and opening act Mac Lethal—the founder of Black Clover Records—have been on the road promoting the record since January, and the penultimate date of the tour kicks off spring break in Tampa.

Tickets to see Gorilla Nems alongside Mac Lethal, DJ Fader, Asaru and Vern Sr. play Ybor City’s Crowbar on Friday, March 8 are still available for $25.
