Description:
Hailing from Wilmington, North Carolina, The Fustics continue to expand their audience throughout the east coast with spirited live shows, and acclaimed studio releases. Blending an array of musical genres into their own distinctive style, the band has evolved from humble acoustic beginnings to a high-energy touring outfit. Incorporating a slab of blues, gallons of folk, a pint of punk, and a hint of country within their blue-collar rock, The Fustics have increased their base through radio, the internet, print media, and a heavy touring schedule.
With the 2010 release of their 3rd full-length record “Beyond This Life,” the band has reached new heights sonically with sharp production, and tightly crafted original songs. The album has garnered regional critical praise for its ability to contrast the starkness of America’s international intervention and a bleak domestic homefront, to the narrator’s long sought fulfillment of personal contentment.
Voted Wilmington’s “Best Original Rock Band,” these poets of the underclass continue to impress audiences alike with a style, sound, and voice that is truly their own.
