Biography
Blister Rust unleashes raw, attitude-laced hard rock music flourishing in thoughtful, youthful exuberance and high-energy antics. Songs like V-8 and Age display the unique style the band utilizes to depict the human condition. Blister Rust pounds the human animal to think, and tempts the listener to reflect. Through it all, Blister Rust punches your ears with an attitude that is not afraid to laugh.

Band influences include Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jane's Addiction, Nirvana, etc.

Band philosophy: Don't look back - it's too scary.

Press: Blister Rust's second offering is harder, more focused, and even scarier. The psycho-circus has only just begun. - Cover (12/98)

The lead vocalist sounds at times as if the lyrics are being ripped out with a pair of rusty pliers while the rest of the band grinds out solid metal hooks and grooves. Probably the most important aspect of this band is their caustic sense of humor. - Tail Spins (6/98)

I swear to God, this stuff sounds like the love child of Blind Melon and Hanoi Rocks. Difficult to sit still. - Aiding and Abetting (5/98)

Blister Rust is popping up on charts all over the Northeast - just doing their part to keep the spirits high for the holiday season. - CMJ (12/97)

Band Philosophy: Never smoke resin and always count using your fingers. Musical Influences: Musicians who die shortly after the birth of their first child. Band Aspirations: To make world peace profitable and to teach everyone to laugh at themselves.

BLISTER RUST is:

OTTO - guitars and kazoo. Otto is an easygoing sensitive romantic. He smashed his first guitar in 1986. He loves to fly, teach children manners, drive around in his sleep and kiss religious women on the lips. In case you didn't know it - Otto created the 888 toll free number nonsense. He was a straight 'A' student who felt it necessary to cheat on every exam and threaten any teacher who caught him. On August 12, 1979, Otto woke up before noon and almost remembered his first and only dream. He believes computers are evil. Otto dislikes ketchup on his hamburgers and all forms of alcohol. He collects butterflies. Otto still uses a guitar tuner and plays with himself four times a year.

Rx - vocals and harp. Rex won a silver medal in the 1992 Olympics. He's an accomplished gymnast with an uncanny sense of balance. Rex never graduated high school due to a rare genetic reading disability - poor eyesight. He bought glasses once but destroyed them. They made him look smart and he was afraid people would start asking him for directions. He began singing the blues five years ago after his eighth marriage blew up like a hand grenade. Rex is deeply fascinated by squirrels. He finds it scary to watch them run from telephone poll to telephone poll. He has never eaten a burger. Rex once threw a ketchup bottle and did the big job in the woods. He occasionally plays with himself on a monthly basis.

TERRY - Drums and whistles. Terry is a highly emotional individual - a real ladies man. The type of guy that likes to use his hands. Terry believes in wearing white socks, eating seven meals a day, lighting insects on fire, leaving discharge on fire hydrants, making custom drum sticks out of furniture legs, experimenting with electricity while submerged and laughing at oncoming traffic when he drives on the left. He is a self-taught musician and therefore a possibly danger to himself. Many people wonder why he cries on his birthday. Terry has been playing drums and making prank phone calls to his grandmother for 12 years. He is a vegetarian with a weakness for cheeseburgers. Terry likes to play with himself every Tuesday morning.

SPORK - bass and general bodily noises. Spork hates anything that reminds him of himself - women with big egos, children that are prompt, people who grin when they release a silent one, animals that hug, video game junkies and folks that take the back roads. He constantly popped woody's in Social Studies class. Spork attended the Julliard School of Music in New York City in the late eighties. He was expelled for pouring quick drying cement into a bunch of tubas and then of course for hanging them as ornaments on the Christmas Tree in Rockefeller Center. Spork likes ketchup and pickles on hamburgers (yet prefers goose with mayo on whole-wheat toast). His uncle is Paul Anka. Paul never calls him. Spork drives a truck with commercial license plates. He loves comic books and small insects. Spork plays with himself more than the rest of the band combined. He usually attends to such matters while watching The 700 Club.
