Photos: The Sword, Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol, and Moon Destroys at Union Transfer in Philadephia on October 19, 2025
There was a time, not too long ago, where stoner/doom metal outfit The Sword had officially called it quits. They were doneski. It was a loss, but sometimes thems the breaks. Thankfully, however, that loss didn’t last forever, because they’re back and on the road with Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol and Moon Destroys.
We sent Jess Ripper out to Philly earlier this month to capture the guys live and she didn’t disappoint. (She never does.) What we got are the photos you can see below. High quality imagery for your eyeballs to soak in, really.
As always, a big thanks is in order for Jess Ripper, who was at the show to take these great photos. Comment on how good her work is down below. Oh and feel free to follow her on Instagram at @jess1ripper.
If you’re in the Orlando or Nashville area this weekend, those are your last opportunities to catch this tour, so be sure to grab your tickets and head out there if you can!
