Why are little ones born only to suffer
For the want of immunity
Or a bowl of rice?"

Since their 1974 debut, Rush has stood at the vanguard of musical innovation and artistic exploration. Across five decades, few bands can match the sheer power, intelligence, and unified virtuosity of this legendary Canadian trio.
