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 [email protected]
