It feels like hardcore bands from every corner of the country are taking summer road trips that stop at Born Free Pub & Grill, a gnarly biker bar in the shadow of the Sulphur Springs water tower.

This weekend it’s Outta Pocket from that other Bay area in California, bringing with it an absolute beatdown of an EP, Purest Pain, where vocals can go from guttural to an almost Beastie Boys-ish shriek.

Trash-leaning Ohio outfit Stoneman is on the bill along with a new Jacksonville, edge, antifascist powerviolence outfit (Seeing Red), plus support from Ocala’s Vile Serpent and newish Tampeño band Plague Spitter.

Tickets to see Outta Pocket play Born Free Pub & Grill in Tampa on Friday, July 14 are $15. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
