Big ass rock and roll riffs a la Sheer Mag are the hallmark of “Toxic Relationship,” the opening track on Eric Jafet’s 2023 album, Destroy.

The rest of the 18-minute outing from the Orlando songwriter is rife with sing-along-ready hooks and unforgettable melodies.

This weekend he’s supported by Tampa favorite Pilot Jonezz, plus fresh-out-of-hibernation art-pop outfit Sorry Barb for what promises to be one of the best shows on 4/20.

Tickets to see Eric Jafet play Hooch and Hive in Tampa on Saturday, April 20 are still available and start at $12.
