| 1996 | The Soviets | A one off solo project by Clay Parton, it's technically early Eiafuawn. | No images available :( |
| 1996-2004 2018-Present | Duster | Originally a two piece folk band, Duster turned to slowcore and space rock, releasing some material, before going inactive in 2004. During the 2010s, some people on the website 4chan began sharing Duster's music, including some demos, which slowly increased their popularity. In 2018, they began recording again, although Jason had left the band in 2022. They then became super famous on Tiktok in 2022 for their debut album Stratosphere, especially for the track Inside Out. More than 75 great songs. | |
| 1996-1998 | Valium Aggelein | Space Rock trio, which is literally Duster, but with more spacey kind of music. 25 songs. | |
| 1997-1999 | Tardis Broadcast | Jason Albertini's early solo project for Astronavigation Records, which went defunct shortly after, but he kept recording new music. This is very early Helvetia. 19 songs. | |
| 2000-2009 | Eiafuawn (Everything Is All F###ed Up And What Not | Clay Parton's solo project, that started around the time Duster began to go on hiatus. He performed live with the help of Yoni Kifle, until 2009, when his website went offline. | |
| 2001-Present | Helvetia | Jason Albertini's newer music output, which is the longest running Duster related project. Originally, it was a solo project, but then more people started to join his band. Sadly, in 2018, they all left for unknown reasons, making him solo again. Around 2021, Jason's mental health began to decline, and he pumping out more and more music, releasing new albums every few weeks in 2023. Helvetia's early recordings are said to be similar to Duster's. Jason has released more than a whopping 500 songs under the Helvetia name. | |

| 2004-2012 | Canaan Amber | Canaan Dove Amber's solo surf rock project, after Duster ended. Very 60s surf rock like, but some songs are more electronic sounding. 14 known songs. | |
| 2007-2011 | Breasts | Yes, you heard that right, Breasts. Breasts was an experimental rock band that had the same members of El Buzzard, but they just chose a different style. Similar to Valium Aggelein. 21 songs. | No images available :( |
| 2010-2015 | Mammoth & Saber | Two piece punk project between Jason Albertini and Canaan Dove Amber. Basically Helvetia, just more punchy and mean. 7 songs. | No images available :( |
