'Rusted' is the debut EP of Mike West.

'Rusted' was recorded 'live' using three microphones and one take at Kingwood Studios to get the best possible recordings of these songs. If Robert Johnson can record some of the greatest songs ever made using one microphone in a hotel room, I can sure as hell create a 5 track record that I can be proud of with a similar approach.

These 5 songs that make up 'Rusted' took hours of jamming, creation, production and fine tuning along with playing live across Liverpool and Chester and then 2 sessions of recording to capture the right feel and vibe intended for this record. After all these hours of creation and devotion, all I ask if for 18 minutes of your time.

Can you dig it?
