Record five songs for Equal Vision

In mid-February 2002, As Friends Rust recorded five songs (“More Than Just Music, It’s a Hairstyle,” “The Most Americanest,” “Temporary Living,” “Born With a Silver Spoon Up Your Ass,” and “Where the Wild Things Were”) at Wisner Productions with producer James Paul Wisner, as part of a one-off loan-out to Equal Vision Records . Tension within the band resulted with Moyal recording his vocals separately and co-producing the material without the other four members’ presence. During his studio session, Moyal recorded a guitar and vocal interlude titled “Up and Went” (with Wisner contributing additional guitar and synthesizer), which he later pointed out as a precursor to his solo project, Damien Done .
