In the past few years, the group achieved a considerable amount of fame on YouTube after posting covers of various songs while working with other well-known YouTube cover artists such as Alex Goot and Sam Tsui. Now, Against The Current has evolved from an upstart band to an unstoppable trio. The band currently boasts over 1.7 million YouTube subscribers and 150 million channel views, while Chrissy has over 1.6 million Facebook likes, 1 million Instagram followers and 460,000 Twitter followers. The band, formed by Chrissy Costanza, Dan Gow and Will Ferri in 2011 in Poughkeepsie, NY, unveiled their first song, "Thinking," in mid-2012 and self-released two Eps in the years that followed. Their 2015 release Gravity, sent the band on a world tour, playing venues across the US, Europe and Asia and selling out shows everywhere from Tokyo to Amsterdam to Paris. The album 'In Our Bones' as a whole encompasses a range of feelings and experiences, as well as stylistic tones. "Young & Relentless" is buoyant and propulsive, a bounding pop rock track with an immediate chorus, while anthemic pop number "Forget Me Now" is what Will calls "a look into the past, present and future of our lives." Lyrically, Chrissy took inspiration from other music and books she was reading, and drew a lot from her own experiences. Contact: 010-6655-0000
