Rusty was part of the CanRock Revolution of the 1990s, originally coming together as One Free Fall in Wolfville, Nova Scotia, before moving to Toronto and undergoing a name change in the early 90s. There were three albums—Fluke (1995), Sophomoric (1997), and Out of Their Heads (1998) before the band decided to call it a day with a farewell show at The Opera House in Toronto on November 25, 2000.
The next I heard from them was in 2011 when I can into them at NXNE as they prepared for the first of a series of reunion shows. Since then, they’ve played sporadically, most recently at The Corktown in Hamilton.
They sure had a lot of radio hits back in the day. Here’s one of them from Fluke.
