RUST hit us in the face hard with thier aggressive fat street hardcorepunk.Gazz on vocals toatally rules the stage with his aggressive in your face Henry Rollins style attacking vocals.DD Black on guitar delivers a fat high speed Detriot/Radio Birdman cracking sound.This band has recently returned from a successful tour of The UK supporting bands such as The Exploited,H2O, and The UK Subs.With lots of Oi Oi and aggressive street punk chanting,the band rips through such songs as Bang Bang Bang,Black Rats,Skinhead from the burbs (a realy catchy track) You aint lived till you've  lived in a car,Rock N Roll gunslinger(with its big throbbing bass guitar intro)and finished with another catchy chanting punk tune Out in the storm which had the crowd yellling for more.

R*U*S*T  Black Rats EP.. Sydneys RUST (ex members of Crucified Venus,Crankcase,Teenage Hookers For Christ,Bone Machine,Gravel Rash,ect)improve on their debut self-titled from not too long ago without really changing the formula.Still with the same staunch old school Aussie pride,this new 7 tracker finds the 5 piece riled up on a raft of issues from untrustworthy scumbags("Black Rats"),to the mainstream media's obsession with violence("Exit Wound")."Spirit Of The Anzacs" is a surprisingly accomplished patriotic punk anthem,while heavily nostalgic "Memory Lane"see frontman Gazz propose"Lets go back to '82"Listening to RUST,feels like i'm already there.DC 7/10
