After releasing their feel-good new track ‘Therapy’ ft. Citizen Kay and MAXINE, Bootleg Rascal have just unveiled the endearing accompanying music video – shot by Max Hoffman and edited by Rhys Bennett (Polish Club, Kingswood, Totally Unicorn).

Filmed across various locations on the Australian East Coast, the sentimental clip features live and behind the scenes footage from past tours, studio sessions and writing retreats. In the spirit of the song’s message promoting conversations around mental health, the video strives to instil hope for fans by shining a light on some of the band’s most cherished memories on the road.

“As we were unable to shoot a full music video production due to lockdown, we started digging through the archives to see what we could come up with,” says guitarist Jimmy Young. “We wanted to largely include content from live shows and touring, in the aim to pick up our fan’s morale during this tough period. Although we can’t bring our live show to most people now, we hope recalling these memories helps reminisce and inspire hope, as the world prepares to opens up again” he continues.
