What do you get when you blend infectious melodies and pop-infused technical guitar riffs with high-energy and solid musicianship?
…You get Sparks The Rescue, a five-piece pop rock band from Portland, Maine that will win you over with their originality, passion, and dedication to constantly make “rockin’ songs.”
The group is comprised of Alex Roy (vocals), Patrick O’Connell (guitar), Toby McAllister (guitar), Ben Briggs (bass), and Nathan Spencer (drums). They have been playing music for nearly a decade now, starting in high school where they spawned from three local bands Pozer, Two Girls Later, and Short of April in the New England music scene. They shared stages frequently at local shows and events until they decided in 2005 to become one single entity, Sparks The Rescue (deriving their name from Nicolas Sparks’ novel The Rescue).
In 2007, STR released a six-song digital EP, The Secrets We Can’t Keep on Double Blind Music. It didn’t take long for their music to catch the ear of WCYY’s Mark Kurdo, and soon the EP was getting heavy rotation on “Spin Out,” a weekly program that features local artists. Requests started pouring in for their tracks to get regular airplay on the station, and STR went on to sell over 10,000 units of their EP on iTunes as their fan base grew exponentially. Their success has stemmed from their popularity at WCYY, and they haven’t forgotten that.

Their new shit sucks. Secrets We Can't Keep was really good and now they have a new album and they've completely lost their edge. Can someone tell me if they play their old songs live?
