From Toby McAllister:

Boys and Girls of America!

We have just wrapped up the Strength In Numbers tour. It has been a crazy 5 weeks for Sparks The Rescue. From days off in Vegas, to soaking up the beautiful California weather, to having our first ever Seattle show on Valentines day. So many memories and friendships were made. We’ve laughed, cried, and enjoyed the cheapest merlot we could find. 

Our last check in was a couple weeks ago, and since then the shows have only gotten better! We started our journey back east starting with a sold out show in Denver, CO.. which was absolutely incredible. It’s so cool to play shows where there’s only a handful of kids that know who we are, but the whole crowd is rocking out and jumping around. The whole reason to hit up a live concert is to have a good time, and maybe discover some new bands! I think that this tour has given us exactly that opportunity. We got to play in front of an audience that would have possibly never heard of us or seen us live. The coolest feeling was to have kids come up to me saying they came to see Like Moths To Flames (who are some of the coolest guys in the world, by the way) and say that although they usually only listen to hardcore music, they thoroughly enjoyed our set.

From Alex Roy:

Tour has been great! We just hit the West coast, it’s been amazing, we loved playing everywhere from California to Seattle. Honestly being in warm weather is one of the best parts!  Maine is probably 10 degrees out and it’s 75 out right now! “Bro-ing” down with DRUGS and Hit The Lights has been an absolute blast, along with everyone else on the tour of course! It’s so awesome to play with bands that you look up to and know every single song.  Currently driving from San Francisco to Seattle in which a mountain of fog hit us, very scary but Toby was driving like a NASCAR champ, we haven’t crashed yet, well done Toby.  We’re super excited for the last week and half of tour, the response we’ve been getting has given me goosebumps every single night, to see this many fans for my band is a dream come true.

Sparks The Rescue are out on the S.I.N. Tour with D.R.U.G.S. and Hit The Lights, and the band will be doing a Road Blog for PropertyOfZack to keep fans updated. Check out the first one and make sure to come back for more! 

From Toby McAllister:

Hey everyone! Toby here from Sparks The Rescue. We are in the thick of the Strength In Numbers tour. It has been quite a journey thus far, and we are having the time of our lives! Usually when we go on tour, it’s with a specific genre of music, but this tour is much different. Craig Owens got a hold of us a few months ago and asked us if we would be interested in coming out on tour with D.R.U.G.S. and we jumped at  the offer.  Every band brings something different to the table, hence the name of the tour. Every night there are kids there to see a different band, and it has been a great opportunity for us to be put in front of a whole new audience.

The tour started in Chicago, which was quite a drive to make all the way from Maine. But night one was a total success. We had never played a big room at House Of Blues, so we were stoked! We met the openers of the tour, Chicago natives “The Action Blast” and immediately hit it off. We shared a green room that night and shared some cocktails. We were already friends with Hit The Lights who we had done tours with in the past, so it was cool to already have friends before we started. The Like Moths To Flames guys are super awesome, and me being a closet metal fan, really enjoy their music. 

The second night was in Ohio, and I made my way onto the DRUGS bus to introduce myself to everyone and thank them for having us out. Craig asked if I wanted to stay on the bus that night and of course, I took him up. The drive that night was through a snow and ice storm, and although I felt bad leaving the guys in the van, I couldn’t really pass up a ride on the bus. It was my first time sleeping in a bunk, and I must say, I hope one day my band gets to ride around the country in that kind of luxury. The DRUGS dudes are all so nice, and give me inspiration to be a better person and musician. We can’t thank them enough for bringing us out.
