Hailing
from the Republic of Iceland, comes one of the worlds freshest new rock
groups... known as Dust.
This cutting edge band of musicians reformed out of the ashes of Envy of Nona. Headed by the
multi-talented Dave Dunn on
vocals and acoustic guitar, Patrik
on lead guitar, Gudjon on
drums, and Rutur on
bass.
The band
released it's self-titled debut in February 2002, after which
the album found it's way into the hands of Multimediary in Los Angeles,
a management deal was eventually signed with Mulimediary. The boys of Dust were invited to showcase at the
SXSW festival in
Austin Texas
2003, and they discovered themselves on the shores of West Coast
America. After touring America, which included the SXSWshowcase, the
band called it quits in March 2003. Despite having their debut album
remixed by Nickelback producer
Dale Penner for
U.S. release.
Dave Dunn
then returned to Iceland and formed Envy
of Nona,
played their first gig with Evergrey
(SWE) in September 2003 in Iceland
(With drummer Bassi from the Benny Crespo's Gang), and eventually
released a self-produced LP entitled Two
Years Birth, after having
dumped the previous 12 track outing that Dave had been working on since
Dust for a change
of style, Two Years Birth saw the light of day in February
2007 in Iceland to little fanfair at the time until the band was picked
up by Tom Kat Records.
Dust's
Dangerous Dave Dunn
However they
called it quits after their last
live show at the Iceland Airwaves
festival in late 2007, creative
differences cited as the reason for the break-up. A decision was made
to pick back up where Dust had
left off, but with a name change and
new members (with the backing of Tom
kat Records), Dust
was "a
generally pleasing musical experience, and I had a great time
performing in America" says Dust
vocalist Dave Dunn.
The new release Radio
Killer, includes 12 incredible tracks, including internet hit T-Bird Romance.
What you get today is a rather intense mix of metal, grunge and active
rock. Fused by Dave's powerful yet soulful vocals, Patrik's intriquette riffing and
guitar hero-esque solos,
bassist Rutor's thunderous
groovy low-end growl and drummer Gudjon's
unique style of groove..... DSN
Music is proud
to bring Dust to the United
States.
