About Mr. Rust
Mr. Rust isn’t just a mascot—he’s the face, voice, and unholy spirit behind Disciplinary Records.
Originally crafted for a webcast called Hesher Talk, the puppet was first commissioned overseas but arrived... less than accurate. Eventually, the character was reimagined and modeled by artist Alfonso Likan into the glorious claymation beast you now see preaching the gospel of underground vinyl on our Instagram.
But Mr. Rust is more than foam and wire. He’s the very same Mr. Rust who fronted cult metal band Rusty Eye—a persona forged from years of music obsession, live gigs, and raw sonic power.
Drawing from the golden era of ’90s record stores, where recommendations came from real people and real passion, Mr. Rust now brings that analog soul into the digital world. With every post, every reel, and every recommendation, he’s out to restore that lost connection between listener and record store clerk—minus the awkward small talk.
Follow Mr. Rust on Instagram at @disciplinaryrecords and experience the art of curation, the joy of discovery, and the attitude of a true underground lifer.
