Dust Biters are a four-piece dirty rock outfit from Chicago that you only wear on nights that call for cheap beer and whiskey chasers. Dust Biters is the music they play on the fast rides with height limits at the county fair - taboo and macabre subject matter trojan-horsed with D beats and guitar leads. The band formed in 2019 months before the pandemic hit and have used the last two years to write, record, play shows, and begin cultivating a community of like-minded musicians and visual artists. Last year we released a single and an EP and will be releasing our debut full-length record on August 12, engineered and produced by Alex Lackner - guitarist of Lazarus A.D. (Metal Blade) and producer and engineer of Repentance’s latest release, “Volume I-Reborn”.
Parallel with the album release, They have a collaboration beer with Metal Monkey Brewing and a burger with Kuma's Corner in the works.
In this episode, the band sits down with Erik Oldman to talk about what it is like being a Covid band, navigating the music industry landscape, how we network and cultivate collaborative relationships while learning to balance life, work, and art.
