Ep. 229: As Friends Rust w/ Damien Moyal
Episode description
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.

- 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
