Await Rescue

Somehow, our insane luck continues.

This past week, our friends over at DigBoston took the time to check out “Everyone You Know” and wrote up an extremely humbling review.

Any time your music is put in the same breath as that of the Foo Fighters and Helmet and it gets reviewed on the same page as Bad Rabbits, The National, and Deerhunter, you know you did something right.

We don’t know exactly what we did, but we hope we can do it next time around too!

Bringing the hometown boogie-down, local hard rock heroes Await Rescue dropped their EP last month, and boy, is it refreshing. Like the Foo Fighters before them (not to mention other bands of that pedigree, even though we aren’t quite ready to namedrop Nirvana) they meld pop hooks with the fire of rock ‘n’ roll, resulting in a well-oiled and propulsive machine.  When they occasionally take their collective foot off of the gas, like on the ballad-type “All She Needs,” the results are just as strong as the harder-hitting rock songs. But it’s these very rockers, such as “Better Off” or the title cut, “Everyone You Know” (a dead ringer for a slightly more poppy Helmet track, and I say that to congratulate, not condemn), that really form the album’s backbone or heartbeat or whichever body part. If you’re lookin’ for some good ol’ ass-kicking rock, they’ll gladly kick.

HUGE, MASSIVE thanks to Justin Rogers and the entire Dig crew for the support and kind words. 

Do yourself a favor and be sure to support Dig’s work every Wednesday on a Boston street corner near you.

We have been extremely fortunate as of late that awesome people have been taking the time to check out our new album "Everyone You Know" and then letting other people know about it.

This past week, Johnny and Rob from The Rhythm Section Podcast took the time to talk about "Everyone You Know" and also had some fun reading our bio.  It is highly entertaining stuff, and if you haven't tuned into The Rhythm Section yet, you are missing out.

But the good luck/news doesn't stop there…

Nope!

Because the totally rad, MA-based music blog Ten Miles reviewed "Everyone You Know" and was far too kind in the process.

Here's a highlight:

Everyone You Know is hard, heavy rock music. There are no unnecessary frills to distract the listener from their solid melodies, but definitely don’t take that to mean the music is simple. Complex harmonies and structures are satisfying on a musical level while their intensity satisfies on that lizard-brain level where you just want to scream along.

Massive thanks to Mike Gordon and his awesome team at Electric Lighthouse Records for reviewing our new EP and suggesting that "Everyone" should own it. 

Pretty clever!

But in all reality, we couldn't agree more with Mike about wanting everyone to have it, which is why we are letting people name their own price (yes, this even includes free) for the Everyone You Know EP on our music page.

Here are a few snippets from Mike's overly kind review:

It isn’t everyday that a band releases something that jumps right out at you and slaps you in the ears… Nothing synthesized, or made up. Just raw emotions pouring out into the hard disk. This is why you should be telling Everyone You Know about this record.

Did I also mention these guys put on a kick ass live show too?! I got the chance to check these guys out at Church last Friday and they totally blew me away! Making an awesome sounding record is fairly easy in today’s times. Recreating that live is a whole story unto itself. It really shows what this band is made of.
