Rare Breed started out back in 2019 as just a quartet of Stockton school friends messing about but in the intervening six years have become a more serious (but not too serious) proposition. Rooted in that much-loved noughties pop-punk sound but not afraid to throw in other influences (US hardcore, the new breed of Aussie punk bands like The Chats), they released their first EP, Not Quite The High Life, in January and are preceding their Stockton Calling appearance with a tour supporting South London outfit Dead Air so they should be set to impress.
