New York, NY (October 22, 2019) – On the heels of critical acclaim and overwhelming audience support, buzzing UK rock band COUNTERFEIT. enlisted some of their biggest fans to appear in the music video for the new single “It Gets Better”.

Check out the video BELOW and stream “It Gets Better” BELOW via LAVA/ Republic Records.



On the video frontman Jamie Bower stated: “The video and the song are about healing, connection, community, humanity and spirit. We are lucky enough to have a fan base that feels like a family so wanted to bring the sense of community that we feel to a larger audience.”



The video which was directed by Phillip Lopez (James Arthur, Cold War Kids, and more), sees the five-piece band embrace a roomful of passionate and dedicated fans who were invited by the band via social media to help shoot the video and feel how “it gets better” by coming together and sharing their stories. Jamie Bower continues to candidly open about facing anxiety, depression, and recovering from drug and alcohol addiction, the crowds open up back to him, getting closer and closer to COUNTERFEIT. It stands out as their most powerful and essential statement yet.

Not only has “It Gets Better” put up nearly 500,000 streams to date, but it also attracted tastemaker praise with Alternative Press dubbing it “one-part self-help anthem and one-part middle-finger-raised punk affirmation”.

Fresh off the North American leg of their tour, the band are headed overseas for a string of sold-out European dates. Regular and VIP tickets are available at: http://www.therealcounterfeit.com
