Sparks The Rescue

Chart-Sharp, Tour-Tested, and Born in Maine: Sparks the Rescue

Formed in Portland, Maine in 2005, Sparks the Rescue grew out of the local high-school music scene and quickly became one of New England’s most recognizable pop-rock exports. Blending sharp melodic hooks, energetic guitars and a polished alt-rock feel, the band built their identity through early releases like The Secrets We Can’t Keep and their breakout full-length Eyes to the Sun. Their sound — catchy, urgent and emotionally direct — helped them build both a regional following and a growing national footprint.

Over the years, Sparks the Rescue has supported several major touring artists, earning spots alongside The All-American Rejects during a European run and joining Mayday Parade for select U.S. tour dates. They’ve also shared stages with major scene staples such as The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, Hawthorne Heights, and Go Radio, showcasing their versatility and ability to connect with diverse rock audiences. Their touring legacy solidified them as a high-energy live band that consistently punches above their weight.

Continuing to release new music, Sparks the Rescue dropped their single “Collarbone” in April 2024 — a polished, emotionally charged track that reaffirmed their modern direction. Then in October 2025, they followed it up with “The Ice Storm of ’98,” a nostalgic, Maine-rooted song that ties personal memory with the band’s signature anthemic style. Together, these releases mark an exciting chapter that blends maturity, hometown storytelling, and the melodic fire longtime fans love.
