Rare Americans

We’re RARE AMERICANS—animated storytellers focused on the real and raw. We sing for the underdogs and don’t shy away from life’s toughest corners. Over the past five years, we’ve built a pretty dope community of kids around the world. 

In just a few years, we’ve racked up over 700 million streams, embarked on sold-out tours across North America and Europe, and even earned a Juno nomination for “Breakthrough Group of the Year”—Canada’s equivalent of a Grammy. But we’re just getting started. 2024 is shaping up to be our most ambitious year yet. Our sixth album in six years, “The Human Animal,” dropped on August 16— twenty-five tracks that explore the full spectrum of the human experience. From our most awe-inspiring inventions to the darkest aspects of our nature, and the vast emotions we grapple with daily, this album delves into the essence of humanity, a theme that has always captivated us. This year also marks the release of our 90-minute animated punk rock musical, “(S)kids.” The project premiered with two sold-out screenings at the prestigious Annecy Animation Festival in France and is currently making its rounds on the film festival circuit. Fans can expect to see it in the coming months.

We’ve spent the last two years in the recording and animation studio, crafting our best work yet. We can’t wait to bring our new songs and animations to life on stage. Our Europe tour kicks off on September 27th in London, with more dates to be announced soon.
