“Mira” is out now. This one is a lot. I hope you enjoy it and connect with it in some way. Thanks to all who turned it into a reality, and thanks to you for still listening.
“Far From Fine” out now. Wrote this in a freezing cold Canadian winter about how I want to throw everything away, buy a shitty motor home and forget all my troubles while driving between Utah and Nevada. Go live next to a mountain somewhere in peace and quiet and reject modernity. As I post this from my phone to soul sucking social media. Anyways, enjoy “Far From Fine” - special thanks to @kylewmarchant for taking this stupid demo and making it a real song. @alexmcfarland for knocking the music video out of the park. @newdamagerecords and @youfriggensuck for always believing in our silly little band. Thanks for listening.
far from fine - from a little town in Texas called Marfa. a town founded by artists for artists. had an off day there in december. was too pretty to not walk around with my camera and film a little thing. a truly awesome day.
2 AM iced latte - something about permanently screwing up my sleep schedule makes me want to be creative. I did in fact shoot this at 2 AM. most of the SFX was recorded this afternoon while making yet another iced latte. only a few transition and background sounds grabbed from @splice - I am a huge fan of @detourcoffee and their Punch Buggy blend. if you live in Hamilton I suggest you go grab yourself a bag or two. long live coffee! #coffee #latte #hamont

the tour of a lifetime for this band. thank you so much to everyone who came out and gave 100% of their energy to having fun with us. thank you for singing along, thank you for moshing, thank you for getting involved. Rarity to an extent have always had that “are we good enough” imposter syndrome, but this tour certainly made me feel like Rarity was a real band. I’m proud of us. I’m proud of my boys. I’m proud of the tour. Thank you endlessly to @trophyeyesmusic for having us out. You guys will never understand what this meant to us, but it meant the world. We are eternally in your debt. Thank you to @houseandhomeva for being the most down to earth, humble, funny motherfuckers, glad we got to share the road. Gonna miss this tour harder than usual. Till next time friends. 🖤
boiler suit era and business deals, ah, the life of a real rocker. 4 shows left of this bad boy, one week at home and then off to Europe with my @silverstein shooters. Life is good. Thanks to all of you for making this the best @raritytheband tour ever. We are eternally grateful. We truly had a blast every night. 📸: @cobyrossi
wgaf came out yesterday and we played LA, thought I’d throw it in the middle of worn down for funsies. Thank you too all who have listened to it thus far. It means a lot to me. Tour keeps rollin on, shows have been amazing and we’ve been having the time of our lives. Thank you all for coming out and singing along.
wgaf is out now. I can’t really explain yet what this song means to me, but I know that every word I wrote down is 100% how I feel in this world right now. Sometimes reality is so far gone, other times I am grounded and self aware. Idk, life is hard, being a human is hard. wgaf. please listen. thank you.
