Rusty was a 1990s Canadian alternative rock band formed in Nova Scotia.
Following the breakup of One Free Fall, former members of the band and Doughboys members Scott McCullough (guitar) and Mitch Perkins (drums) got together to record the EP Wake Me in 1994. The video became a minor hit on Much Music. Released on Handsome Boy Records, the EP was popular on Canadian campus radio, leading to a major label distribution deal with BMG Records for their full length album Fluke in 1995 having the hit single "Misogyny featuring clips from Canadian filmmaker Bruce LaBruce's film Hustler White. Fluke was the band's commercial breakthrough, also spawning the singles "Wake Me", "Groovy Dead" and "California" earning a Juno Award nomination for Best Alternative Album. In 1996, the band contributed a cover of "Let's Break Robert Out of Jail" to the compilation album A Tribute to Hard Core Logo. In 1996 "Punk" was included on the soundtrack to Chris Farley's movie "Black Sheep".

The band's followup album, Sophomoric, was released in 1997 including the singles "Empty Cell" and "Oh No Joe". Perkins left the band that year owing to creative differences and released an electronic album independently with Andrew Massey under the name "Blu Pernu" and was replaced in rusty by John Lalley.

In 1998, Rusty released Out of Their Heads. The album was a commercial disappointment and the band subsequently broke up, playing their final show on November 25, 2000.
