The Rescues

I'm taking a slight step away from my usual blog topics to promote one of the best bands out there today.
If you haven't heard of The Rescues, make sure you check them out this fall! Promoting their newest album Let Loose The Horses, the band is touring across the US and making a stop in Toronto. I think it's actually their first Canadian tour date.

Aside from listening to classic rock, The Rescues are one of the only contemporary bands I listen to these days. Their music is memorable and they use interesting harmonies. Don't believe me? See for yourself:





In terms of social media, The Rescues management certainly knows what they're doing. The band uses Co-Tweet so when you go to their main Twitter page, you can identify tweets from the band members as well as tweets from the band. They also have a strong following on their Facebook page. Band members are active on the message boards and fans get involved through contests and by uploading images from concerts. In additon to their main site, The Rescues also upload YouTube videos on an ongoing basis and have a tumblr account for pictures and tour details.


If you haven't seen them live, make sure you do. It'll be a musical experience of a lifetime - so I've heard.
