A Farewell Rescue

A Farewell Rescue’s debut full-length album, “Never Meet Your Heroes,” isn’t exactly hot out of the recording studio, but it’s starting to gain some serious attention, which makes it seem new.  Originally debuted last summer, the band’s label, Snapdragon Records, put it back in stores and gave it a second push in mid-September of this year.
