They are:
- Rescue (rockband)
- RESCUE (a capella group)
Rescue began as a side project in the late months of the year 2000, but after noticeable praise the band quickly took top priority over each members respective previous endeavors. The original line-up included Sean Clancy (bass), Michael Majewski (guitar), Alan Scheurman (vocals, guitar), and Brian Southall (drums). Right away Rescue ventured out on the road for some serious touring without any recorded material. Then, in November 2001, they simultaneously recorded an EP, Even People and Not the Odds, and full-length, Volume Plus Volume (both currently available as a double disc with bonus material on Forge Again Records), at Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, with producer Mark Haines (Archers of Loaf, Braid, Rainer Maria). While touring in Florida, Southall was bitten by a hairy spider, landing him with a bad limb. Ryan Clancy, brother to Sean, picked up right where Southall left off and has stayed with the band since. In the spring of 2004 Rescue went back to Smart Studios to join forces, once again, with Haines for the creation of a "mini" full-length, Flamingo Minutes, which was later released on Slowdance Records in the summer of the same year. Flamingo Minutes showed a growth for the band, inching away from the post-punk, start-stop sound heard in the previous releases and venturing into a darker, thicker, and much more sexually charged arena. While touring for Flamingo Minutes, the band was held back by a terrible roll-over accident that left Scheurman with a shattered clavicle and several broken teeth. After a relatively speedy recovery, Rescue was back in action and ready to focus on new material. As an effort to expand their musical versatility, Rescue added Cassandra Verras (piano, violin) shortly upon Scheurman's recuperation.
After two excruciating years of yellow lights, Rescue returns with Paranoid. A collection of new and old, Paranoid came together somewhat haphazardly, in pursuit of fresh approaches, while at the same time, enhancing their signature wall of sound. Recorded over several brief intervals between October 2005 and March 2006, Paranoid bellows reflections of ten hour work days followed by sessions that last until dawn. Chris Lazlo Koltay's (SSM, My Morning Jacket, Demolition Doll Rods) production provides proof that Rescue has no conventional format for which to define their sound. Paranoid hazily drifts from unsuspecting organ instrumentals, to indie rock anthems that proudly nod to their 90s counterparts, into lo-fi sing-alongs and future college radio classics, followed by ear-piercing weird heaviness. From the driving "Run as You Are," Rescue makes no hesitation to flaunt the splendor of Scheurman's and Verras's male/female vocal harmonies. "Breaking My Own Heart" provides a catchy soundtrack to the politics of libertine dating. Verras's orchestral skills are highlighted on the socially optimistic "We Bond". Majewski's guitar shrieks like a cat in heat, while Ryan Clancy makes 4/4 sound like 7/9 on "Please Erase Your Self From Me". Scheurman critiques his own masculine conditioning as he softly sings: "I keep on treating women like a fisherman fishing for the biggest fish, but, they're never perfect, so, I just throw them back in" on the working class psych-ballad, "The Leech". Finally, Sean Clancy's gritty fingers tell their own story through deep bass chords and baritone guitars on the album closer, "Sleepwalker, Shit-Talker". Paranoid also includes guest appearances from friends. One of many being Happy Chichester (The Afghan Whigs) being gnarly on an organ in a rendition of "Through/Suit" adding new life to an old live favorite that first saw light on Flamingo Minutes.
Rescue has not completely abandoned their old material, only, recognized the desire and necessity to challenge their audience with the maturity and refinement they have realized. The revitalizing sound that exists for Rescue in the form of Paranoid has emerged from the honing process with physical and emotional scars, as well as personal and financial debt. Fortunately, Rescue is prepared to share with the world the wisdom and character they have learned through the experience and struggle of their own rock and roll story, now nearly 7 years old, but only a few chapters in.
Rescue played their final show at the Magic Stick in Detroit with Russian Circles and La Salle.
RESCUE
Another performer by the name Rescue spells their name in all capital letters and is an acapella gospel group based out of Portland, OR. RESCUE is drawing in listeners of all ages. Their sound is described as fresh and exciting, as they have developed their own captivating style that brings listeners into an entertaining and worshipful arena. Influences include the well-known Take 6, Rockapella, and Acappella. With the doors that the Lord is continuing to open, RESCUE is looking to take their music to every corner of the globe.
RESCUE had its beginning in the spring of 1996. Jason Overstreet had just finished his senior college recital, in which he had written and performed several a cappella songs. Impressed with his performance, his professors urged him to pursue his musical talents in the field of a cappella music. Having had previous conversations regarding a shared passion for singing, Jason got in touch with high-school and college friends Jason McKenney, and former members: Chad Krober and Matt Lusk. Together they formed a quartet and committed to learning, writing and performing a cappella songs.
After independently raising funds, RESCUE entered the studio in November of 1998 and recorded their first CD. After the release in February of 1999, the response to the CD lead to an overwhelming amount of ministry opportunities for the group. RESCUE CD's and DVD's are immediately available for purchase in our RESCUE Store on this website. The majority of RESCUE's songs are written and arranged by current and former members.
Touring internationally, RESCUE is regularly featured on television and radio. They have been especially blessed by sharing their music for President Bush, at Fiji Fest, World Vision, Promise Keepers, professional ball games, numerous community events, large men’s retreats, women’s special events, conference centers, churches, schools, colleges and youth rallies.
Since founding RESCUE in 1997, Director Jason Overstreet continues to invest his time writing and arranging RESCUE’s music and overseeing all aspects of RESCUE in order to maintain the stability and consistency of music ministry.
God has bestowed incredible musical ability upon Jason and other vocalists Brian Sell, Steve Cross and Brandon Bell, all of whom have an intense and focused passion for HIM. They are exuberant in their love of RESCUE music and feel both humbled and honored that God has chosen them for this ministry.
Eating
Rescue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd rather eat the truth and smile
How can I make you understand?
You'll never understand
With you it's "normal over natural"
Now the tables are turning about the room
And it's sink or swim
They will let you drown
Will come to your rescue when your head is underwater?
Because I can't
I cannot even comprehend how you take the things that they've said
And carve your bedtime-story morals
How can you enjoy the fruits of your labor
When you're as dead as the carcass you consume?
The household you've abused
But who am I to assume the worst?
In the song "Eating Jesus" by Rescue, the lyrics are an introspective commentary on society's disregard for the consequences of their actions. The opening line, "Haven't you ever even thought to question what you do?" speaks to the lack of critical thinking that often accompanies conformity. The line "You'd rather eat the truth and smile" points to the idea that people want an easy, digestible version of reality that they can consume without much thought, even if it means ignoring uncomfortable truths.
The song then drives home the point that people are ultimately responsible for their own actions and decisions, with the line "Now the tables are turning about the room, and it's sink or swim. They will let you drown." This can be interpreted as a warning that if people continue to ignore the consequences of their actions, they will ultimately suffer for it.
The song ends with the question "Who will come to your rescue when your head is underwater?" This is a powerful message about the need to take full responsibility for one's actions and not rely on others to save them from the consequences.
Overall, "Eating Jesus" is a complex song that encourages listeners to question their own beliefs and actions, and to take responsibility for their impact on the world.
Line by Line Meaning
Haven't you ever even thought to question what you do?
Have you never stopped to reconsider your actions?
You'd rather eat the truth and smile
You prefer to ignore reality and pretend everything is fine
How can I make you understand?
I am unable to make you comprehend
You'll never understand
You are not capable of grasping this truth
With you it's 'normal over natural'
You prioritize conventionality above all else
Now the tables are turning about the room
The situation is changing rapidly
And it's sink or swim
You will need to adapt to survive
They will let you drown
Others will not come to your rescue
So why don't you sit and think about who
Take some time to consider who would be there for you
Will come to your rescue when your head is underwater?
Who will support you during your times of need?
Because I can't
I am not capable of providing this support
I cannot even comprehend how you take the things that they've said
I do not understand how you internalize harmful statements from others
And carve your bedtime-story morals
You mold your sense of right and wrong based on simple, childish stories
How can you enjoy the fruits of your labor
How can you derive pleasure from your work
When you're as dead as the carcass you consume?
When you are just as lifeless as the animals you eat
The household you've abused
The home you have damaged through your actions
But who am I to assume the worst?
However, it is not my place to make negative judgments about you

My worst fear is sitting at a restaurant being halfway through my meal and seeing Jon Taffer or Gordon Ramsay storm through the doors, might as well spit the food out right then and there.

Taffer and Ramsay need a series. John does the bar, Gordon does the food. Omfg how good would it be.
Donar Thiazi
No, because you would have two VERY strong personalities under one roof... it could get really ugly.

At least Gordon is somewhat personable, he comes in greets everyone and everything starts off fairly decent, this Taffer guy just comes in and starts ripping new a-holes left and right
