Before this year ends, Rusty Machines is off to making (more) friends. After filling our rooms with garage rock nostalgia with their 2014 “City Lights” EP and helping us figure out what went wrong in different parts of our lives, the four-piece band is back to prove they’re set out for much bigger stages—in the form of their first-ever album.

And just like what vocalist Iggy San Pablo repeatedly sings in “Until,” this makes us want to know things—including Rusty Machines’ music—a little better.
