Before breaking out of the London pub rock scene with the Attractions, Elvis Costello—then known as D.P. MacManus—joined Allan Mayes’ Liverpool rock band Rusty in early 1972. Though the group toured extensively, the musicians never made it into a recording studio.
Now, Costello has reunited with Mayes for their debut album The Resurrection of Rust, out June 10 via Capitol. In press materials, Costello referred to the album as “the record [they] would have cut when [they] were 18, if anyone had let [them].”
