Joseph A. Gervasi interviews Cordy Swope of Philly’s mighty band Ruin. They talk about Cordy’s youth; going to early punk shows at the Hot Club; seeing bands play Abe’s Steaks, Love Hall, and other places; police corruption in Philly; forming Ruin; the moniker of “Buddhist punk”; and a lot more. This was the first interview done for LOUD! FAST! PHILLY!
