From the rock anthems that followed us through Iron Man to the timeless classics we danced to with Baby Groot in Guardians Of The Galaxy, Marvel has given us incredible soundtracks to coincide with their phenomenal movies. However, with the next phase of the MCU underway, we couldn’t help but think about how things could be a tiny bit better if some bands and artists from our scene were recruited

Against The Current vocalist Chrissy Costanza is ready to walk through the fire and embrace healing on her pop-rock band’s single “weapon.”  Writing the track during lockdown and in a time of darkness for the singer, “weapon” sees Costanza exploring how we are “simultaneously the protagonist and antagonist of our own story” and how she’s “spent so much time being my own worst enemy, as the weapon

Nothing beats the first time hearing one of your favorite songs. It's a feeling we never fully appreciate at the moment but then nostalgically crave forever. Fortunately, alternative artists frequently grant us the opportunity to once again hear these tracks from new perspectives through reimagined versions...

After the release of their last full-length Past Lives in 2018, Against The Current took their time with the album cycle before diving back into music. When they made their return with “that won't save us” last year, the band went back to their rock roots. Now, they ...

Women in rock, from Against Me! and Evanescence to Paramore and Tonight Alive, are larger than life. While shaping the alternative music world as we know it, they also proved that women belong in rock 'n' roll.

You know when an album is all fun and games, then the last track has you existential? What is it that makes artists want to leave us down and out? Maybe it’s the fact that we can’t simply say, “That was fun!” and move on. Sometimes, it migh...

After the release of their last LP, Past Lives, in 2018, Against The Current focused their time and energy on touring and performing.
