Against The Current is an American rock band from Poughkeepsie, New York, that emerged in 2011 and quickly built a dedicated fanbase through their engaging YouTube covers of popular songs. The current lineup features lead vocalist Chrissy Costanza, guitarist Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri. The band's grassroots approach to music helped them secure a notable appearance at Warped Tour in 2016, establishing them as rising stars in the alternative rock landscape.
Against The Current's discography reflects a steady evolution as songwriters and performers. Following their self-released EPs Infinity (2014) and Gravity (2015), the band signed to Fueled by Ramen and released their debut studio album In Our Bones in 2016. A major highlight came in 2017 when they collaborated with the video game phenomenon League of Legends on the single "Legends Never Die" for the 2017 World Championship. They continued their momentum with the album Past Lives (2018) and the EP Fever (2021), followed by the single "Wildfire" in 2022. After parting ways with their record label later that year, the band has maintained creative independence while continuing to tour and release music, with their third studio album Till Death & Back set to arrive on October 30, 2026.
Against The Current's journey from YouTube sensations to signed artists represents a modern success story in the streaming era, proving that authentic musicianship and direct fan engagement can sustain a career. The band's willingness to experiment across collaborations — from gaming partnerships to independent releases — showcases their versatility and commitment to their craft, solidifying their position as notable figures in contemporary alternative rock.
