Following the warmly received release of ‘All About You’ ft. Saint Lane, Gold Coast-based party starters Bootleg Rascal have today shared their charismatic new offering ‘Therapy’ featuring Citizen Kay and MAXINE – produced by the band themselves and mixed by Ian Pritchett (Boo Seeka, Kim Churchill, Angus and Julia Stone).
‘Therapy’ is introduced with temperate guitars, amidst a sumptuous texture of precise percussion and swaying bass. Shimmering with cordiality, the sweltering flow of feature artist Citizen Kay floats naturally above as the song progresses into its prominent chorus; highlighted with delicate synths and frontman Carlos Lara’s iridescent stride. MAXINE’s effortless melodies compliment the track before it glides towards a polyphonic finale, punctuated with harmonious acapella vocals.
Lara explains the message behind ‘Therapy’: “Sometimes, your therapy can be music or switching off in front of the TV, but sometimes not even our biggest distractions are enough. It’s okay to ask for help, it’s ok to not be okay.”
Previous single ‘All About You’ ft. Saint Lane was extensively embraced by Spotify, Apple Music and online tastemakers. The track was added to rotation on The Edge 96.ONE and received further radio support from Double J, 4ZZZ, Radio Metro, SYN FM, SUN FM (NZ) and RTR FM.
The release of new material has also seen the band hit their highest ever streaming numbers, with 264k monthly listeners on Spotify.
Since Bootleg Rascal’s mid-2013 inception, the group have frequently released critically praised and fan adored music that has yielded them a career spanning close to ten years.
Multiple tracks and videos have been supported by MTV, Rage, The Line of Best Fit, Clash Magazine, NME, Spotify, Apple Music and added to high rotation on Australia’s largest youth radio station triple j.
They’re a mainstay on the Australian and New Zealand live scene, and have also sold-out multiple shows in France, UK, Netherlands, Germany, USA, New Zealand and Australia.
‘Therapy’ ft. Citizen Kay & MAXINE will be available on Spotify on Thursday, July 29 and all other DSP’s on Friday, July 30

My nickname is “The Amnplifier”. Why? Because around here my focus is on being a conduit for providing greater outcomes that people come here for. My day to day “work” is living in the moment, and I love helping others concentrate on finding their connection to themselves through their experiences.
Why start a music environment? The truth is I love music, I love writing, and I love life. I work with musicians every day, and I feel certain that I will be until they put me in the ground. I have been managing people in businesses of some sort for over thirty five years so along the way I have developed some “wisdom” from my regular and constant “observations”.
Amnplify your experience. That is what we want you to do here, and if you want to let me know why you do, or don’t, shoot me a message on Facebook.
Hope you enjoy yourself here and find something that hits you somewhere.
