‘The Gutter’ is hard hitting and aims to surprise and to make a statement. Lyrically abrasive and unapologetic, dust explore themes of classism and social analysis. Within the salient lyric “There’s nothing wrong with the secondary class... The Problem lies between the high, high class”

The band definitively sets the tone of the song and the bands stance on the contemporary social climate.

Driving syncopated drums, electric riffs and a soaring bass line lays a foundation for the tracks
main lyrical content while leaving room for gritty ambience and engaging thematic development.

The abrupt ending of the song leaves the listener ready for more, while the repeated theme will be stuck in your head

The Gutter

A contemporary take on Australian post-punk, characterised by immersive and genre bending instrumentation.
Themes of introspection and duality is achieved through the bands  lyricism, alternating vocalists and utilisation of traditional and experimental performance techniques. Drawing inspiration from international as well as local acts has allowed dust to foster a unique sound paired with a clear creative vision. 
dust is deliberately difficult to categorise and is intent on letting the music speak for itself.
