Thirty years after its studio debut, California punk band Strung Out is still at, with founding members in the lineup, too (R.I.P Jim Cherry).

Jason Cruz & co. have new work to share this time around, thanks to Strung Out's 10th studio album, Dead Rebellion.

"It was written, performed, and produced with a deep conviction that none of this is in vain, and if you love something enough, it will always take care of you in the end," the band wrote about the effort written at the height of the pandemic.

Fellow Golden State punk elder Adolescents opens the show along with Las Vegas trio Mercy Music, which is on the road supporting a new album What You Stand To Lose.

Tickets to see Strung Out play Tampa Orpheum on Sunday, June 23 are still available for $25. Subscribe to Creative Loafing newsletters.
