rdf:langString album

rdf:langString Won is the first full-length album by American melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust. It was released on compact disc and 12" vinyl by American record label Doghouse Records on October 23, 2001. German record label Defiance Records licensed the rights to release the album on compact disc and 12" vinyl for the European market, though this edition was released a week earlier than the American one, on October 15, 2001. Japanese record label Howling Bull Entertainment also licensed the rights to release the album for the Asian market; this compact disc edition was released even earlier, on October 5, 2001, and includes two bonus tracks. In promotion of the release, As Friends Rust toured the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Europe several times between August 2001 and November 2002, accompanied by such bands as Brand New, Coheed and Cambria, Thursday, Strike Anywhere, Sick of It All, Further Seems Forever, The Movielife, Shai Hulud, Planes Mistaken for Stars, Open Hand, Shelter, Keepsake, Hotwire, Fairweather, The Sainte Catherines, This Day Forward, Bloodlet, The Reunion Show, The Stryder, Liars Academy, Garrison, Vangard, Clark, Running from Dharma, Prevent Falls, The Remedy Session, Durango 95 and The Copperpot Journals. The band also performed at notable festivals like Van's Warped Tour in Los Angeles and San Francisco, California, Furnacefest in Birmingham, Alabama, Gainesvillefest in Gainesville, Florida, Krazy Fest in Louisville, Kentucky, Hell City Tattoo Festival in Columbus, Ohio, Philly Music Festival in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Gorefest in Miami, Florida, Orlando Magicfest in Orlando, Florida, Chaos Days Festival in Savannah, Georgia, Ieperfest in Ypres, Belgium, Defiance Festival in Cologne, Germany, Mondsee Open Air Festival in Hohenmölsen, Germany, Nordhausen Festival in Nordhausen, Germany and Sommerspektakel Open Air Festival in Sarstedt, Germany. Won's writing and recording sessions, and following promotional tours, featured a great deal of member changes for As Friends Rust. Prior to recording the album, the band lost three of its five members, leaving only lead vocalist Damien Moyal and guitarist Joseph Simmons. Guitarist and backing vocalist Christopher "Floyd" Beckham, bass guitarist Guillermo Amador and drummer Alexander Vernon were recruited, and with whom part of the album was written and demoed. Vernon was then replaced by Zachary Swain and Amador by Thomas Rankine; this line-up completed the writing of the album and participated in the recording of Won. Only four months after the album's release, Moyal quit the band. This forced Beckham to step up as lead vocalist, and in turn former member Gordon Tarpley returned as fill-in guitarist for a month's worth of shows, before As Friends Rust had a chance to recruit new lead vocalist Adam D'Zurilla. Four months later, Beckham also departed. After completing a European and British tour as a four-piece, and fulfilling most of its contractual obligations to the many record labels to which the band was signed, the remaining members of As Friends Rust decided to change the band's name to Salem in September 2002; less than a year after the album's release. Salem continued to tour in promotion of the release for two more months before focusing on new material.
