Album releases aren’t uncommon in Tampa Bay’s vibrant local music scene, but not every show feels like a catharsis. Last Friday night did, with hundreds filing into Crowbar in Ybor City for a night of heavy-hitting rap and pop-punk all punctuated by a powerhouse set featuring big sing-alongs and bouncy mosh pits in celebration of Pet Lizard’s punchy new album, Intrusive Thoughts.

Pet Lizard album release Last week, Pet Lizard released its debut full-length Intrusive Thoughts, a tight and punchy collection of 10 songs that bring the band’s influences—which include Amyl and the Sniffers, Pup, Joyce Manor, Car Seat Headrest and even Dijon—together with angsty lyrics that spilled out of the friends as the world collectively waded out of the Covid-19 pandemic. Hollyglen, Turkeyboy and Sintell Terry open.

According to its new album, Discord Theory is Eight Ways From Dire Straits, and last Saturday the Tampa rock band took to Crowbar in Ybor City for a release gig that the outfit called “the best show we’ve ever had.”

On Friday night inside the pub at the American Legion Seminole Post 111 in Old Seminole Heights, bands—House of I, Kick Veronica, Bad Bad Things, Sorry Barb, and an especially punchy Pet Lizard—warmed up the Emo Night Tampa faithful on the eve of the recurring party’s eighth anniversary. Outside on the patio, Tapeñ-emos goofed off at the photo booth. Have a look at the snaps and party more tonight when Emo Night Tampa throws its official anniversary party at Crowbar in Ybor City.
