After the band was displeased with its musical direction, they disbanded and formed the pop punk group Face Value, which garnered attention from Good Fight and Rise Records.

Musical style


Rarity has drawn comparisons to The Story So Far, The Wonder Years, and Alexisonfire. The band's sound has been labeled as post-hardcore, pop punk, and punk rock.
On their debut studio album, I Couldn't Be Weaker, the band collaborated with pop punk band State Champs lead vocalist Derek DiScanio and A Sight for Sewn Eyes vocalist Joshua Hanusiak. The album was produced by Seth Henderson, who has produced records by other pop punk bands such as Real Friends and Knuckle Puck.
Learn described Rarity was only a pop punk band throughout the recording process of the Alive In Your Eyes EP in 2015, and that the band has evolved into a punk and post-hardcore group. In an interview with Alternative Press, Woods revealed that the band was heavily influenced by pop punk and Counterparts.
