    I was today years old when I found out that Rare Americans are Canadian to, I'm so happy cuz I always just hear American bands and I'm glad that music this amazing came from our country.
  • @RareAmericans
    Comment here with a 🍓and let us know what your fav song from ACT II is!!
  • @zar1290
    The album sounds great so far, my favorite has to be 2U's or Good Eats! I love the message behind your guy's music, it's helped me through hard times in my life multiple times. CAN'T WAIT FOR ACT 2!!! 🍓🍓
  • @kaidabronks
    🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓 It's like if Dr. Seuss animated The Lorax the way it was intended. Not only the style, but the message of corporate greed. Love you guys. Pandora's Box was the song that made me love the band even more. You guys went full on with gay rights, body positivity, black lives matter, and if you've got something to say-- It went from loving your music to loving the band itself. So excited to see where you guys go. Stay independent, and Stay Curious!! 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
  • @lesalt5392
    🍓 I'm already so excited for all of these just by the little snippets of the songs we've got with the recent shorts, I'm most excited for 2U's! i already know this is gonna be amazing, good job you guys 👏
  • @cringemaster2917
    I’m sure newer acoustic guitars are treated for water resistance or something but seeing one in the rain feels like watching nails on a chalkboard. The animation and music is great though, love seeing this band grow.
  • @RogueSith07
    Just got into your guys music again after a couple years, made me remember how much i love it and the meaning behind it, its bloody amazing please keep it up! Hyped as all hell for part 2 btw! 🍓
  • This act is so Good ! I think it will be hard to make better in Act III ! Your songs are so meaningfull to me. You help me through tough time since 3 years. Thank you Rare Americans. I love you and all it's fans ❤️🍓🍓
  • @Camdannydan
    🍓been waiting for this to come out and I’m super stoked🍓
  • @parzival8331
    Thank you for droping these brilliant songs at such a perfect time in my life! As always you guys helped changed so many lives thank you.❤
  • @RavenTeeth
    Yaknow, its really cool timing with you guys putting this out now. I am fresh out of highschool and I've struggled a lot with finding myself, I just never had the right environment to do it in and a budy of mine and I are planning a road trip like this and this just seems to speak to me. It really feels almost like a sign that I am going in the right direction, trying to get centered and live life. You may not know me Rare Americans, but you damn sure have changed my life. Thank You.
  • @Lycantori
    I'm a little late to the party cuz I've been at the lake for a few hours but I couldn't wait to finally listen to actII ❤ Guys what can I say? I absolutely love the artstyle, I absolutely love that even tho it's one story, every song sounds completely different, and I definitely cannot wait for the cd because I'm REALLY curious for the Brothers song 😍❤ I must say, from all songs so far I love the "2U's" song the most right now, because this is probably the most relatable song I've ever heard from you guys. I have no clue who I am or where tf I belong in this world because I seem to fit nowhere 😄 so yea. but all the other songs are just 🔥🔥🔥 as well ❤❤❤
  • @sphis1327
    🍓 Cant wait, you guys have been one of my favorite bands since I recently discovered your music this year :)
  • @DxrpyYT
    Im so pumped for Act II I feel like my favourites gonna be 2U's 🍓🍓🍓
  • @astrocat345
    "A one man army lost at sea" Holy moly, how do you guys come up with words like that? Love it, surpassed all expectations I held! The lyrics are simply magical, putting indescribable feelings into words is one hell of a task 🍓🍓🍓
  • @Squidman_G44607
    I don't understand how these songs get better every video
  • @Lycantori
    blasting the songs on the balcony to force the neighbors to become fans too lol 😂❤
  • @skegs1467
    Can’t wait for part 2, already been humming 2 U’s. 🍓
