For those who want their ears to bleed as they enter 2023, Born Free welcomes Rhode Island grindcore outfit Moisturizer, ready to send local fans of speed metal and punk into the new year with one hell of an Interstellar Migraine.

Tickets to see Moisturizer with Thorn, Shining Wizard and Sloth at Tampa's Born Free Pub & Grill on Friday, Dec. 30 are available at the door for $10.
