Dust was an American hard rock band active in the early 1970s.

History

Dust was formed in 1969 by Richie Wise and two teenagers, Kenny Aaronson and Marc Bell.^[1] The trio's producer and manager, Kenny Kerner, also wrote the group's lyrics. Their eponymous debut album was released on Kama Sutra Records in 1971, followed by a sophomore release, Hard Attack, issued on the same label the following year.^[1] Although Wise began writing material for a third album, the band dissolved due to lack of promotion and Wise's interest in producing.^[2]

While the group only released these two albums, they later became of historical interest to collectors of early American heavy metal.^[3] Both albums were reissued on April 16, 2013, as a combined CD set titled Hard Attack / Dust (Legacy Recordings), as well as on vinyl on April 20 for Record Store Day.^[4]
