Rescue Rangers

"Rescue Rangers’ background is destined to make members of the local Marseilles scene green with envy." Metal Hammer

Since their formation in 2007, for lead singer and guitarist Pascal Mascheroni every day since has only served to heighten and advance his near talismanic-like qualities as a songwriter. A long-serving student and practitioner of classic rock, stoner metal and hardcore punk, after performing at a local show in Marseilles with desert rock nonconformist Nick Oliveri, the band was later invited to join Mondo Generator on tour across North America. Deep in the middle of writing and recording new material at the time, Mascheroni duly obliged and in return asked Oliveri – forever the stoic campaigner of high octane rock’n’roll – to lend his vocals to the song ‘Creeper, The One Who Creeps,’ on Rescue Ranger’s brilliant 2012 album, Manitoba. For Join Hate – the French quartet’s third full-length release – the band recruited another sonic luminary in the form of Page Hamilton from legendary NYC noisemakers Helmet. Ballsy, voluminous and stacked with infinite promise, the album proved to be an out-and-out treat for fans of heavy rock and electrifying song writing, and a true ear-opener for those discovering the band for the very first time.<br>
