The industrial boat yard of Half Moon Bay, California is the ideal place for The Dust to tear apart their practice space. Growing up in a small fishing town on a steady diet of metal and punk is what Matt Allen (bass), Josh Jasperson (guitar), and Brian Overfelt (vocals) have in common. Beginning in 1997, three of the four members of The Dust started a project where they played many shows. Within a year of performing, they opened for Incubus at the Cocodrie and Papa Roach at the Maritime Hall. Eventhough the project ended, the friendships never did-- thus the possibility of a future band. A few years later, a new band emerged. With the recruitment a new drummer, Dave Lavey, The Dust was born. They took the stage for the first time in May of 2003. The Dust has released a three-song demo and the full length album entitled Twenty-two in 2008. The sound is heavy while remaining dynamic. When you stand in front of their stage, you are struck by one thought: These guys are tight. With strong personal lyrics and catchy riffs, The Dust strives to entertain and inspire all who listen.
