The Road To Ruin Fest 2012

Once Venues are determined, the event will be moved to the certain venue page… From the Festival’s Facebook Page…


Hello Everyone,

So its the 12th of February and we wanted to announce some more Road To Ruin information. We are so stoked to clue you guys in on some of this stuff.

We worked very hard to bring you something that Mike and I could be very proud of at the end of the day. We asked bands that we wanted to see play, or bands that haven’t played Philly in awhile or ever before and honestly just our best friends. So here goes nothing:

I’m very excited to announce that we will be doing the wrestling portion of our show with CHIKARA. CHIKARA are based in the Philadelphia area and are one of the most unique and entertaining wrestling organizations in the world. They are putting together a really great show for everyone. We are aware that this could be the first time a lot of people have seen a wrestling show so why not bring you some of the best! We’ll let you know the card over the next few weeks but its going to be very great.

We are so excited that the main day of April 21st will see our friends in THE MENZINGERS properly release their new record ON THE IMPOSSIBLE PAST in Philadelphia. We are also very happy to announce that there will be two other record release sets that weekend: The Stable Boys (members of Algernon Cadwallder, Kite Party, Snowing, and Glocca Morra), and Night Sins (members of Mother of Mercy, Salvation) both on Evil Weevil Records.
