As Friends Rust is an American melodic hardcore band based in Gainesville, Florida.[1] The original line-up, which included vocalist Damien Moyal, guitarist Henry Olmino, bass guitarist Jeronimo Gomez, and drummer Matthew Crum, formed in Davie, Florida in September 1996. After recording a demo tape but failing to secure a record deal, the band parted ways in February 1997.

Check out their latest album Any Joy which was released last year and is available wherever you get your music.

I got Damien on the Skype and this is what we chat about:

Starting Shai Hulud
Why he was in so many bands
The reason for multiple lineups in the beginning
My band playing a show with them on tour
Signing to Doghouse Records
Not having a specific sound for the band
Narrowly avoiding dying on multiple occasions
The Polish Mafia gig
Annoucing new songs in 2008 with no delivery
Which does he like better, Fest or Furnace Fest
And a ton more

Lastly I started doing whiteboard animations so if your marketing department has said recently “Hey, we need a whiteboard animation” then email me at mike@drive80.com
