This week, the award for most-apropos band name goes to Plague Spitter, a new metallic hardcore outfit that caps off the hellscape of the last few days by releasing a new EP alongside another nascent local punk band (Send All).

The homegrown rippers open this Born Free biker bar gig ahead of sets by Freeze Mf (stylized “MF”), something of a Philadelphia hardcore supergroup that’s drawn comparisons to Kublai Khan, Greyhaven and even Turnstile. Brutally chaotic, math-ish, Nashville noise-rock band Circuit Circuit caps things off.

Tickets to see Plague Splitter, Freeze Mf and more play Tampa’s Born Free Pub & Grill on Wednesday, Sept. 6 are available at the door for $15.
