As Friends Rust – Laughing Out Loud

Biography
In 1996, Jeronimo, Henry Olmino and Matt Crum - who were playing together under the moniker “Wayside” - recruited Damien Moyal, who had fronted Culture, Morning Again and Shai Hulud - and was also doing Bird of Ill Omen and Culture at the time - to step in on vocals. The sound was a distinct amalgam of Samiam, Split Lip and Gorilla Biscuits. Much screamier than the following efforts, the band wrote quickly and passionately, and in no time was playing, kicking ass and taking numbers across Miami. Actually, the band’s first show was a Pixies tribute, where they covered “Hey” from the album ‘Doolittle’ and “The Sad Punk” off of ‘Trompe Le Monde.’ The band stepped into the studio to record the first of several efforts with acclaimed producer James Paul Wisner, and made off with a pretty impressive 6-song session. Four of these would later be released, while the other two remain unattainable. The band sent out demo cassettes (remember those?) to a plethora of labels, all of whom - including Doghouse Records (who later signed AFR) and Equal Vision Records (who released the band’s finale) - turned them down. The band eventually split up, as Damien planned his move to Gainesville to pursue Culture, and the remaining members began to lay the foundation for Rocking Horse Winner.

I'd love a reunion update. I know they reunited a few times but it was in Florida and Europe.
