Against The Current: ‘We can write songs all day – but it surely’s high quality over amount’ | Music | Entertainment | EUROtoday

Against The Current seems like a punk band pulled straight out of the mid-2000s.

Lots of people would possibly learn that sentence and see it as an insult – so, to be clear, I imply it in one of the best ways doable.

Bandmembers Chrissy Costanza, Dan Gow and Will Ferri are delivering highly effective, poppy, and catchy tracks which have the identical vibes that have been current within the glory days of Fall Out Boy, The Wonder Years, and the Jonas Brothers.

And – to make issues much more interesting – when Against The Current play reside, the band themselves really feel they’ve skilled an actual enchancment in efficiency high quality over the previous few years, as properly.

Speaking completely to Express.co.ukthe band really feel like this bout of adjustments has been a pure development of their fashion, ardour and artwork.

“I feel like there was a big shift when we first got back to it after the pandemic,” Dan defined. “Putting out [our latest EP] Fever… it was a fresh start. We tapped into something a little more different and natural. Lots of energy.”

When pushed on whether or not this was one thing their label, Fueled by Ramen, urged them to do, he harassed: “It just kind of happened naturally. We released Fever and it lit a fire under us. We noticed the shows had a different energy.”

Chrissy agreed wholeheartedly: “Even the last six weeks we’ve been out [touring] you see the progression from show one to the final show. I felt like I couldn’t even sing [new single] Silent Stranger from the first show… and from the last show, you don’t even think about it.”

Thankfully, British and European followers will likely be getting a style of this fervour and expertise within the coming days.

Against The Current are at present within the UK enjoying a few of their greatest British exhibits to this point. And they’re eager to make it as particular as doable for his or her followers.

“It’s nice going to Europe and the UK,” Chrissy smiled. “As they’re some of our favourite places, and where we’re really comfortable because we’re just going in at the peak from the start.”

Surely, although, after such highly effective singles as Silent Stranger and well-received EPs as Fever, there have to be some new music on the horizon, proper?

Wrong. “We need to get some studio time after this tour,” Chrissy confessed whereas referencing their thematic launch schedule. “The plan is just to continue on the path of the ‘Nightmares and Daydreams duality’. Theoretically, the next track is a Nightmares track, but we haven’t confirmed or denied that just yet.”

The trio confirmed they’ve “an album’s worth of songs” within the hopper… however they don’t seem to be able to allow them to see the sunshine of day.

Chrissy defined: “We’ve always been perfectionists since the beginning. That’s why we’ve always been slow at releasing new music.

“Whenever we launched one thing that we’ve not been one hundred pc proud of it is, transparently, been as a result of our label pushed for it. We’ve at all times been of the mindset that we might fairly sit on it [music] till it is excellent.

“For us, I think it’s always going to be quality over quantity. We can write songs all day long, so the more songs you write the more chances you get of getting a good one. We’d rather take a lot of swings at it.”
