While appreciated by the art punks and metal heads, Ruin found their primary audience support among the american HARDCORE scene circa 1981-86. The dynamics and varying tempos in a lot of their songs proved to be just what the mosh pits and clubs needed to underscore the rituals of their time. Throughout the years, Ruin has been gaining listeners internationally among all ages. To this day, new skulls are finding that they resonate with Ruin's old skull passion to ROCK and stir the heart. Their 1980's studio recordings have been re-mastered and re-issued for the cd,

"SONGS OF REVERIE AND RUIN"  now available for online purchase! For more mp3 tracks, check out Ruin's website updated February 2003.

	Recorded live 1997 during one of the ReUnIoN shows in Philadelphia. This rouser immediately followed a brief acoustic number as part of the band's show opener. The working title of this rocker was "One Size Fits All" and is exclusively available here on mp3.com. Unlike the other recordings, this includes both drummers and the vocalist on supplementary guitar. Hopefully the intensity of the live performance will translate to this mp3 despite the low fidelity mix of the source recording. For best results, download or play the hi fi stream
