Rust n' Rage - One For The Road

[Stefan]

 

Rust n' Rage signs with Frontiers for their third album with Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire) as the producer. The 2 previous albums are 'Showdown' (2013) & 'Tales From The Wasteland' (2018).

From Frontiers:

Frontiers Music Slr is pleased to welcome Finland's Rust n' Rage to the label's ever-growing stable of exciting new young talent. The band has just started recording their label debut with producer Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire).

Coming from a small town in Finland called Pori, Rust n’ Rage is made up of four guys who all live for a similar cause: Rock n’ Roll. While individually practicing a lifestyle of hard rockin’ and playing their hearts out around their small town, it didn’t take long for Vince, Johnny, Jezzie, and Eddy to meet and realize they had a shared musical vision. Their musical influences originate from the '80s, with their idols being such legends as Guns n’ Roses, Judas Priest, Mötley Crüe, Dokken, and the like. Rather than merely be the sum of their influences though, Rust n' Rage concentrates their songwriting on being separate from their influences, while still maintaining those awesome hard rock riffs and high-pitched vocal screams.

In 2020, things started rolling for the band, having found a new manager and a new producer to help them get their musical vision properly recorded. Based on the strength of their newly created/recorded singles, the band caught the interest of Frontiers Music Srl, who have signed them to a worldwide deal. Signing with Frontiers is an opportunity to release their music to a global audience and to show the world what they are made of. 2021 is gonna be a busy year and the recording of their upcoming album has now commenced.

"We couldn’t be more psyched to join the Frontiers family! We’re huge fans of their releases and to be a part of something so awesome is a dream come true. The album is gonna be fire and we just can’t wait for all of you to hear it. With lots of new kick ass material and our producer Jimmy Westerlund (One Desire), we can promise a musical sensation soothing for your rock-yearning eardrums. We’re gonna drop some singles during the year for you all to get hyped up for the release, and well, what we can say is that you better hold onto your seats, ‘cause it’s about to get wild!" - Rust n' Rage

Starting to make a name for themselves, Rust n’ Rage has been rockin’ all over Finland. With energetic live shows and anthemic songwriting, this rock n’ roll-quartet is ready to introduce themselves to the world more than ever before.

I also am a fan of this album.

Had never heard them before so I went back to listen to their first two albums.

Expectations were high.

And then....
Well I tried, a lot.
Listened to each album 3 or 4 times, but really they are both pretty shit.
Then I started wondering if they changed singers, because the vocals were really bad on the first two.

Maybe the producer got more out of the singer?
The music on the early albums was good, perhaps a little too 'try a little bit of everything' but still, solid.
But n ot solid enough to work in any way with the vocals sadly.

So onwards and upwards, and look forward to the next release
