\u201cI think with our first EP, we\u2019re pretty proud of how it turned out.”<\/em> – Chrissy Costanza.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

In the current issue of Rock Sound<\/a>, we dive into the history of Against The Current<\/strong> release by release, starting with ‘Infinity’ and winding up at their latest album ‘Past Lives’. Check out a taster below, and pick up your copy of the current issue HERE<\/a> to read the full thing.<\/p>\n

Properly formed in Will\u2019s basement, Against The Current began with three teenagers uploading covers to YouTube, and their early years culminated in the \u2018Infinity\u2019 EP…<\/p>\n

Chrissy Costanza (vocals): \u201cThe first time I went to the basement was after Dan and Will came to my house once, just to play acoustic in my basement. Then I went [to Will\u2019s basement] and that was kind of like my audition, but no one ever told me if I got the part or not…\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Dan Gow (guitar): \u201cYeah, the only things we\u2019d done were with singers from local bands, so it was a definite step up!\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Chrissy: \u201cAnd it was my first real band, so I was just excited to be there. I didn\u2019t really know what it was supposed to sound like or be like. I was just like, \u2018Let\u2019s rip\u2019. \u2018Thinking\u2019 was our first single, in 2012. I\u2019m pretty sure we were just pumped to finally have an initial song out, because at that point, I think we\u2019d just played a couple of local shows. We had original songs, but none of them were big enough to release, and \u2018Thinking\u2019, we rewrote a thousand times. It was almost a completely different song before it is what it is now. I actually found the original \u2018Thinking\u2019 lyrics a month ago when I was cleaning my room to start packing before tour, and just buried in my desk was a ripped up piece of paper that had the original lyrics on it. It\u2019s just a completely different song.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
