Detroit, MI-based Rescue have decided to call it a day. The band has announced a final show to take place on April 28th at the Magic Stick in Detroit.

Formed in 2000 as a side project, the group went on to release a number of records, including Volume Plus Volume in 2002 and Flamingo Minutes in 2004. Their final record was Paranoid released on Suburban Sprawl Music.

I've never heard of them either

they were an awesome math rock band who stopped being mathy and started writing more thought out songs, then they just did their thing and made weird music that i'm not into, but whatever.

good band.

oh yeah, they didn't release that phone numbers cd, that's a shitty metalcore band called THE rescue

Not a big fan, but a Saturday night show with a decent band sounds better than a stick in the eye, which is what I usually do on Saturday nights if there's nothing going on.

They should add the Swellers to the bill, then I'll go for sure. That last EP of theirs fucking rules, and I haven't had a chance to see them live since being turned on to them a few months ago. I would have loved to go see them with Smoke Or Fire last night in Southgate, but the likely result of falling asleep in an early-morning meeting with the company president probably wouldn't have been a good idea. I hate having to be responsible and hold down a job. I wish I could be one of those poser crust-punks from East Grand Rapids with unbelievably rich parents and a trust fund waiting for me when I finally decide to get my shit together. Instead, I'm the son of a milkman and a girl fro

check out the swellers when you get a chance. i worked the door for a show they played in the shelter a few weeks ago and they were incredible. they are playing at the stick with downtown brown on st patrick's day, could be fun...

Someone (March 10, 2007)

the swellers are a complete no use for a name ripoff.
they break the record for a band that sounds the most like an already existing band (which i think was previously held by saves the day re: lifetime)

At least their memory will live on in my tattoo.

Someone (March 9, 2007)

Saw these guys with The Q and Not U at the Shelter awhile back. Did leave much of an impression short of their name.

Sorry. I meant "didn't" leave much of an impression. I blame the wine.

I wish I was listening to Different Damage right now.

Someone (March 10, 2007)

think i may have worked the door for that oddly enough

remember the game rescue?

Someone (March 9, 2007)

Meh... I never really liked this band. Their live show was pretty good, but everytime their stuff comes on on my computer the next track button is clicked.

Inspection12e (March 9, 2007)

First off, they did not release Phone Numbers. That was a different band with the same name.

Second, the last album was really good even though it dragged in a few spots.

Someone (March 9, 2007)

Truly an underated band and a wonderful group of people.

The city of Detroit will never quit, because most the people never had jobs in the first place.

maverick (scott) (March 9, 2007)

Bummer. They never really regrouped after they were in that awful van accident in '04, although it was good to stumble across them at the Fest V last year, I honestly had no idea they were still active.

i live in the city and see a couple of the guys here and there and had zero idea they were still active. i think the last time i remember them playing was bang bang's first show/ small brown bike's second to last show like 3 or 4 years ago

jonodeath (March 10, 2007)

I saw these guys a few years ago and they were amazing. Bummer.

thinkerthought (March 10, 2007)

Rescue ruled. I hope the members continue on to other projects, because they were all badass musicians.

greg0rb (March 10, 2007)

Though I don't listen to their albums as much as I used to, these were talented guys.

Sadly though, what I think of most when I see this band's name is the shit I had to deal with on this site's message boards for the review I did for Volume. As a beginner reviewer, it really put a stink on the whole process and I considered not doing reviews anymore. Thankfully, I went on an realised lots of people are jerks and I shouldn't give a shit! Yay!

Someone (March 10, 2007)

Damn it. This is one of probably 5 bands left for me to see in my lifetime.

Someone (March 10, 2007)

It's sad to see them go. I like their last album. My favorite is flamingo minutes.

Someone (March 10, 2007)

i've known all these dudes since like '97. awesome guys.
i could never get into any of their music, however. but they are great musicians.
ryan and sean form probably the best rhythm section in michigan IMO
