It seems the metal world is resplen­dent with qual­ity homages to the won­drous elixir of life we call beer. Bands from all over the world are writ­ing and per­form­ing num­bers ded­i­cated to this sweet bringer of hangovers.

Although not as well-known as other patrons of beer on this hal­lowed site, Rust­bucket are a band from the Mid­lands in the UK who have writ­ten a con­cise and ele­gant hymn to the won­der of beer. The song opens with the win­ning lines:

‘It’s a Mon­day, I drink some beer. It’s a Tues­day, I drink some beer. It’s a Wednes­day [can you see where this is going?] I drink some beer…’

Pete Laurie’s vocal style has a hint of the great Phil Anselmo about it and cou­pled with the chug­ging riffs from Nick Billings­ley and Ivan Lewis, Rust­bus­ket have given us a good old fash­ioned drink­ing song!
