While the world is busy having an off-year, Rarity is flying higher than ever before. The Hamilton, Ontario quintet have been enjoying the most significant success and notoriety of their young career, largely thanks to the release of their sophomore album, The Longest Lonesome, one year ago via Dine Alone Records.
