Rush is the debut studio album by Canadian rock band Rush. It was released on March 18, 1974 in Canada by Moon Records, the band's own label, before being re-released internationally by Mercury Records later that year. Recorded five years after the band's formation, it is their only album to feature original drummer John Rutsey and displays a more straightforward hard rock sound than they would come to be known for, showing the influence of early British hard rock bands, particularly Led Zeppelin and Humble Pie.
