Vancouver Alternative Rock Group Rare Americans Continue Their Animated Universe With New Video For “Drawing Swords”

Vancouver-based alt-rock group Rare Americans have built a loyal follow courtesy of their anthemic music and animated visuals. Pairing virtually every release with an animated narrative, the DIY band continue to grow their fanbase and find success. Adding to the collection is the new single and video, “Drawing Swords”. Inspired by a personal anecdote, the song will be on their upcoming EP Songs That Don’t Belong, out December 22nd.

“Drawing Swords is a true story,” shares RA’s James Priestner. “One night I was out for a few drinks with friends and my partner and I got into a fight in the street. She really did call me an emotionless stickman! I couldn’t make that up if I tried. The idea of the song is that sometimes it’s hard to let your guard down, but if you don’t, you often miss out on the best parts of life. It’s a reminder that even if we get hurt, we have to throw ourselves back out there in order to really feel.”

With most of their music carrying a message, “Drawing Swords” combines a hopeful theme with a triumphant and melancholic sound, coming together for its commanding chorus hook.
