Gulcher Records, the fabled 1976-81 old-school label resurrected with superb archival re-issues from the Gizmos, MX-80 Sound, the Afrika Korps, and the Panics, presents another stunning slab of punk history. Rising out of the ashes of the Panics in 1987, the Walking Ruins were one of the most energetic and prolific garage bands to ever come out of Bloomington, Indiana. Driven by the ever-inventive guitar of Ian Brewer, atop the crackling drums of ex-Dancing Cigarette John Terrill and imposing bass lines of Kevin Loyal, this quartet was fronted by the hyper-active vocals of lead maniac John Barge. Together for ten amazing years, the Walking Ruins penned hundreds of songs and deafened thousands live. Now, their 1996 self-released compact disc, FALL OF THE HOUSE OF RUIN, has been newly remastered for Gulcher re-issue. Crank up this sizzling slice of mayhem and ponder the meaning of life as the Ruins storm through 18 powerful originals and a pair of classic punk covers. Rock critic Eddie Flowers of Slippy Town writes: "The Walking Ruins feature John Barge and Ian Brewer, formerly of 80s teen punks the Panics. These dudes' vision in '96 was pretty much the same as '81; this still sounds like the real deal. They blast through nineteen short'n'fast manifestos in 70s-style punkarama, including 'Lost Cause,' 'Withered Hand,' 'Won't Take My Medicine,' 'Cult Leader,' 'Stalin's Crayon,' 'Alien Autopsy,' 'Frat Row,' and Vom's immortal 'Punkmobile'."
