As Friends Rust / Discount is a split extended play by Gainesville, Florida-based melodic hardcore band As Friends Rust and Vero Beach, Florida-based punk rock band Discount. It was released by Belgian record label Good Life Recordings in December 1998 on compact disc and 7" vinyl. In promotion of the release, As Friends Rust and Discount embarked on a six-week European and United Kingdom tour, from December 1998 to January 1999, accompanied by Swedish hardcore group Purusam. The European tour included a stop to play at the Good Life Winter Festival, in Kortrijk, Belgium.

Both Discount songs from the split, "Portrait of a Cigarette" and "History Is History", were recorded during the same session and feature vocalist Alison Mosshart, guitarist Ryan Seagrist, bass guitarist James Parker and drummer Bill Nesper. The two As Friends Rust songs, however, were recorded during separate sessions and feature a slight change in guitarists. Both songs feature lead vocalist Damien Moyal, guitarist Joseph Simmons, bass guitarist and backing vocalist Kaleb Stewart and drummer Timothy Kirkpatrick. "The First Song on the Tape You Make Her" also features guitarist James Glayat, while "Home Is Where the Heart Aches" also features guitarist Gordon Tarpley.
