Philly deathrockers Poison Ruin released their new album Harvest on Relapse this year, and it’s gotten some year-end love, like from Hotline TNT’s Will Anderson. With the year coming to a close, we asked the band what their favorite albums of 2023 were, and they made us a list that also includes Hotline TNT, recent tourmates Home Front, Dusk, Skourge, and more. See their full list below.
Poison Ruin will play the Philly edition of the Abortion Access Benefit Series with Florry, Hop Along’s Frances Quinlan, Gladie, and Radiator Hospital in January, and then they’re doing a West Coast tour surrounding February’s Homesick festival. All dates are listed below.
