Apostle Of Hustle

Apostle of Hustle formed in the early 2000s, with Chris Catalyst handling vocals and lyrics. Their debut album 'A Rent Boy Goes Down' arrived with its title track drawing attention for its subject matter about a male prostitute. The song appeared to split listeners, with some finding it honest and others calling it exploitative.

Their music pulled from industrial, electronic, and alternative rock, creating dark, atmospheric tracks like '!Rafaga!' and 'Animal Fat.' The band included guitarist Jon Davison, bassist Chris Casket, and drummer Matt Embree. They followed up with albums such as 'Ghost Dancer' in 2005 and 'The Penultimate Supper' in 2008.

Songs like 'Baby, You're In Luck' and 'Chances Are' continued their exploration of heavy themes through layered soundscapes. The group maintained a steady output through the 2000s, working within their particular blend of styles without much concern for mainstream acceptance.
