Eleven Songs (album)

Eleven Songs is a compilation album by American melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust.

It was originally released on compact disc by Japanese record label Howling Bull Entertainment on October 5, 1999.

[1][3][4] The six additional songs were taken from As Friends Rust's previous releases, The Fists of Time and the split with Discount, which Doghouse Records itself would later compile and re-issue in June 2000 under the expanded title The Fists of Time: An Anthology of Short Fiction and Non-Fiction.

[5][6] As Friends Rust did not tour Japan in promotion of Howling Bull Entertainment's version of Eleven Songs, but did perform five shows in the United Kingdom when Golf Records released its edition in 2001.

[9] Some of the songs had appeared on the band's demo tape, circulated to record labels in late 1996, and all four were later used on As Friends Rust's debut extended play The Fists of Time in 1998.

"Home Is Where the Heart Aches" was recorded in late March 1998 at Goldentone Studios in Gainesville, Florida with producer Rob McGregor.

"The First Song on the Tape You Make Her" was recorded in October 1998 at Goldentone Studios with producer Rob McGregor.

[16][17] It prominently features As Friends Rust's recognizable "guy with gun" logo; an illustration which Moyal had found on a wall while walking through an alleyway in Chinatown, Boston, Massachusetts in early July 1998, while on tour with Discount.

As Friends Rust's "guy with gun" logo, discovered and adapted by Moyal in 1998. The emblem was first used on the As Friends Rust / Discount split and has since appeared on the majority of the band's merchandise, including the cover art of Eleven Songs .
