An exuberant Vancouver combo with a flair for the theatrical, Rare Americans found viral success with the genre-mashing indie pop-punk of songs like "Cats, Dogs & Rats" and "Brittle Bones Nicky." Led by brothers James and Jared Priestner, the band have self-released three albums including their eponymous 2018 debut and 2021's Jamesy Boy & the Screw Loose Zoo.
