I have been a longstanding fan of Gabriel Mann, so when I learned that he had joined forces with three other singer-songwriters to form The Rescues, I pre-ordered the album and played it the day it arrived.

It's terrific. You would never know this is a debut album -- this is a mature work by a powerful collection of artists.

The mode is somewhere in a neighborhood where pop, rock, and folk come together. It unquestionably contemporary songwriting, but if you demand something to compare it to, I might say it sounds like an album Fleetwood Mac might have produced if they were working today. Each of the four members take turns on lead vocals, and each is great in a different way. This is music for a summer night, music to play in the car with the top down.

I have now been listening to it constantly for days. You will too.

So, I've been a fan of Kyler England for a long time. A few years back I went to see her when she was touring solo. She said that she had recorded an album with The Rescues (Crazy Ever After). I bought it...loved it...still listen to it. It's like a sonic pop menagerie. If you like power-pop/rock with awesome harmonies, then you will LOVE The Rescues. Now, they have released their follow-up record, and I must say that it's even more amazing. This band really blows me away. Their music is like a bag of potato chips, I defy you to listen to it just once. I mean, one listen to 'Before The Fall', 'Start a Riot' or 'Stay Over', and you'll be hitting the replay button over and over. This is a solid band of musicians and songwriters who can sing the heck of their songs. Catch them on their way up! Trust me...listen to the clips...buy the album...you'll be glad you did.

I heard their version of Teenage Dream and I really enjoyed how they toned, it and stripped it down. They put on some killer vocals and that is what made me buy the album. I heard 2 previews then decided to buy it. It was that good. I'm still listening to it right now as I write this review but some of my standout favorites so far is: City and the River, Follow Me Back Into the Sun, Stay Over and Stranger Keeper. The whole album is outstanding but I really like the second half of the album.
These guys are brilliant writers and musicians, and if this is just their first debut album, then I can't wait to hear more from them.

Wow! These guys are terrific!
I stumbled on these guys/gals listening to some Grey's anatomy soundtracks and was smitten.
A touch of folk, rock and country. If I had to choose who sounds similar I guess it might be Lady Antebellum/Gloriana just not as country and a bit more hip.
I'm a fan and look forward to their future music and any concerts in the Atlanta area!

Rare is the pop album that captures you from the outset and keeps you enthralled until the final note, but such is the case with this brilliant offering from The Rescues.

Using simple, one-word descriptions....the songwriting is amazing. The instrumentation, flawless. The vocals, breathtaking.

My musical tastes run the gamut, but this instantly made the list of my favorite albums of all time. Yes, you read right...OF ALL TIME!!!

Pick this up now, and while you're at it get a few copies for your friends and family. You will love it, and they will love you for giving them such a wonderful gift.
