xpemos I am fortunate to have seen some 80’s ruin shows. The Ballad of Dwight fry excelled the Alice cooper original at creepiness. That creepiness- Taster, Babydoll and Master song, the sometimes angular, sometimes chromatic or odd interval/ rhythm of the guitar work makes Ruin stand out for me. Vosco’s delivery is always raw, real and meaningful in its emphasis. I am biased, but i’m honestly drawn into the different directions some of these tunes take. Favorite track: Sweeping Willows.

aka Dry Rot, performed live Labor Day 2013 ReUnIoN show at the Union Transfer in Philadelphia. Featuring Richard Kaufmann on lead vocals, Daniel Dillon on bass, and Cordy Swope on Guitar & Harmonica. Stress and strain, the rain comes down, there's a crack in the ceiling, there's a frown Owner's down in Miami, there some things he never sees Just moved in, a brand new town, a lot of concrete gonna lay down, gonna lay me down There's a man on the vent, picture of lost innocence The maintenance man is not around There's a porch and a railing without the stairs Home Sweet Home
