All but three years ago, Portland’s Sparks The Rescue were making pulsating post-hardcore that threatened to make it big in the underground scene. However, when the time came to record their debut full-length ‘Eyes To The Sun’, the band refined their sound to a more pop-rock sound with a little bit of extra kick and fortunately for them, it worked. Now with their sophomore record, ‘Worst Thing I’ve Been Cursed With’, they’ve refined their sound even further in what they hope will bring further acclaim to the band. The question is, will this be a sophomore slump or the comeback of the year?
