New to NA: The Rare Occasions

Another band that Amusements Minor has brought to my attention, as he continues his never-ending journey into Spotify. The Rare Occasions are an LA-based, New England-bred indie rock band known for their explosive garage rock anthems with catchy vocal harmonies. They formed in Boston in 2012 and, since then, have toured nationally, won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and released a vast catalog of music online. I know all this to be true, because I've just copied and pasted it from their website.

The song I heard Amusements Minor humming along to is this, Notion. I find it very listenable, even if the vocalist sounds like he comes from up north, rather than LA. I'm also intrigued by the mini-film video. What do you reckon?

I should add that whilst this band is new to me, that video has had 46 million views and counting on YouTube. Where have I been?
