The Rescu

about

The Rescu is a rock band from Cape Town, South Africa, founded in 2010. The mission is simple for this trio: rock the crowd with a big sound from start to finish and have a whole lot of fun doing it! The band’s sound has evolved since their inception to incorporate a tasteful bouquet of alternative and classic rock influences. There is an edgy familiarity about their music. The Rescu are: Mike Vaughan - bass playing front-man Graham Lowndes - guitar playing wingman Sheldon Yoko - drum smashing stuntman The 3 guys are seasoned musicians with lots of history - always on the same scene, but never in the same band. Sheldon, Mike and Graham have all done the late nights, carrying drum kits and amplifiers in and out of a million clubs and rehearsal rooms, working hard at their passion, often for nothing more than the love of doing it. Formed in 2010, The Rescu immediately set about the task of writing and recording an album. The fundamental non-negotiable for the band was that the album needs to sound like they do live. Part of the appeal of watching a trio is the raw, stripped down nature of the music. Getting that to sound as big as possible for the 3 guys on stage is the ever-present objective. So The Rescu spent some quality pre-production time in an empty house just outside of Cape Town in the Hex River Valley, producing and arranging a very honest set of songs that would translate effortlessly from the studio to the stage. The self titled debut album was recorded at Herita
