Our Take

As Friends Rust's latest album "Any Joy" is a rollercoaster of emotions and sonic experimentation. From the moment you press play, you are taken on a journey through melodic hooks, gritty guitar riffs, and heartfelt lyrics.

The opening track, "The First Time," sets the tone for the album with its infectious energy and raw vulnerability. Lead singer's vocals blend seamlessly with the driving drums and intricate guitar melodies, creating a sense of urgency and depth.

"Cheers to Oblivion" is a standout track that showcases the band's ability to seamlessly blend punk, pop, and emo influences. The catchy chorus and dynamic instrumentation make it a perfect anthem for those late-night drives or introspective moments.

However, not every track on "Any Joy" hits the mark. Some of the mid-album songs feel a bit repetitive and lack the punch of the earlier tracks. Despite this, As Friends Rust manages to keep the listener engaged with their unique sound and introspective lyrics.

Overall, "Any Joy" is a solid addition to As Friends Rust's discography. It may not reinvent the wheel, but it certainly provides a fun and engaging listening experience for fans of punk and emo music. So grab your headphones, crank up the volume, and let As Friends Rust take you on a musical journey full of joy and introspection. Cheers!

About the artist

As Friends Rust

As Friends Rust is a band that seems to have emerged from the depths of Gainesville, Florida, with a sound that can only be described as a unique blend of punk rock, hardcore, and a touch of melodic sensibility. Formed in the late 90s, the band has been through numerous lineup changes over the years, but their passion and energy have remained constant. Lead singer Damien Moyal's distinctive voice is like a siren's call, drawing you in with its raw emotion and intensity. His lyrics are thought-provoking, introspective, and often politically charged, touching on topics ranging from personal struggles to the state of the world. The rest of the band members, including guitarists Kaleb Stewart and Joe Simmons, bassist Matt Crum, and drummer Nick Storz, all bring their own unique talents to the table, creating a dynamic sound that is at once aggressive and catchy. Their music is a rollercoaster of emotions, taking you from moments of pure chaos to quiet introspection in the blink of an eye. Tracks like "Perfect Stranglers" and "Laughing Out Loud" showcase the band's ability to craft anthemic, infectious hooks that will have you singing along after just one listen. As Friends Rust may not be a household name, but for those in the know, they are a beloved and respected part of the punk rock scene. So grab your leather jacket, lace up your boots, and prepare to be taken on a wild ride through the musical landscape by these Gainesville legends.
