Kyuss and Rasmus, Rasmus and Kyuss. The multi-talented brothers from Byron have become one of surfing’s most intriguing double acts.

Despite the five-year age gap, the brothers were always inseparable. Even now, as they pinball between surfing, playing gigs for their band, Headsend, acting roles and hunting down classic cars, their lives are intertwined on an almost daily basis. “He’s my best mate,” conceded Kyuss in a recent correspondence with Tracks.    

As far as riding waves goes, their entry points are a little different. While Kyuss is pulling on a Challenger Series contest jersey and rumbling with the world’s best, Rasmus can be found binging on MP clips and knifing rails on an eclectic quiver.

Rasmus and Kyuss recently appeared alongside one another in Australian feature film, ‘Six Festivals’, but it’s on stage for Headsend that they really connect.

Growing up, Kyuss played guitar and Ras hit the skins, but a few years ago they switched it up. Ras is now on vocals and guitar with Kyuss on bass. Good mate, Bon, plays the drums for Headsend.

In the interview below Kyuss talks about Rasmus and Rasmus Rasmus riffs on Kyuss. Two kings passing commentary on each other; that’s always going to be fun.    

Kyuss on Rasmus:

One time I came home from school, and I was looking for Ras but I couldn’t find him. I could hear one of our motorbikes roaring through the neighbourhood.

Then he came flying into our driveway, flew past our house and hit a jump in the NUDE. The Yamaha PeeWee 50 and Ras’s eight-year-old balls were at least five-feet off the ground and flying through the air!! Haha, still one of my favourite ...
