Drake Jensen releases new music video for ‘Scars’

Country music artist and openly gay musician Drake Jensen just played a set right here in Toronto at The Flying Beaver Pubaret, so to celebrate, here’s his latest video for his new single, “Scars.”

The video sees Drake in full leather (side note: woof) and deals with bullying and overcoming other people’s perceptions. All in all, good song, and he has some pretty sweet leather pieces.

Also, just putting this out there, but you may want to turn down the volume on your speakers for the first 30 seconds of the video until the actual song comes on. I had mine on full-blast, and the industrial screech at the beginning scared the bejeezus out of me.
