Dust was an American hard rock band formed in 1969 by Richie Wise, Kenny Aaronson, and Marc Bell. The trio released their self-titled debut album on Kama Sutra Records in 1971, followed by Hard Attack the next year. Despite disbanding due to lack of promotion and Wise's shift towards production, Dust gained historical interest among collectors of early American heavy metal. Both albums were reissued as a combined CD set titled Hard Attack/Dust in 2013. After Dust, Bell joined Richard Hell & the Voidoids and later became Marky Ramone in The Ramones, earning induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Aaronson collaborated with numerous artists including Edgar Winter, Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and Bob Dylan.
