Demos
The Skin & Bicester Tapes (May 2013)
After frantically searching down the back of the sofa, The Rust finally managed to scrape together enough loose change to enter the studio to record a demo in May 2013. Following a hard night's day at Brave & Bold Studios in Bicester (Oxfordshire), the band proudly emerged with 3 cover tracks:
"Tush" (originally recorded by ZZ Top) "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" (originally recorded by Pat Benetar) "Overdose" (originally recorded by AC/DC) All 3 tracks have been given the full Rust treatment with our unique blend of subtle brutality! We are therefore pleased to present these tracks to you for free download so that you can enjoy The Rust wherever you may be, whether it's on the train, driving in your car, mowing the lawn, deep sea snorkeling or naked hang gliding (if that's what tickles your fancy!).
