This week we chat with Chrissy Costanza, who first rose to fame as the lead singer of Against the Current and has since become one of the most recognizable female voices in gaming. We find out about how Chrissy first met her bandmates, Will Ferri and Dan Gow, and how they quickly caught the attention of label Fueled By Ramen (Warner Music, home of Twenty One Pilots, Panic! At The Disco, All Time Low, and more).
After a critically acclaimed debut album and a sold-out world tour, Chrissy was approached by Riot Games in 2017 to be the voice of the League of Legends anthem “Legends Never Die”, which has had over 200 million streams. 2020 has kept Chrissy in the studio with her ATC bandmates working on their forthcoming album which is sure to be their breakthrough offering, as well as embarking on hosting her own show as one of the founding talents on the gaming x music culture network, Venn.
Since the day “Misery Business” became the anthem of a generation, it became a cliche rite of passage for female pop-rock vocalists to be compared to Hayley Williams upon entering the pop-rock scene.

Well, we’re fucked. Following the devastating election results earlier this week that have poised former President Donald Trump to re-enter the White House to serve his second but non-consecutive term (something that hasn’t happened in 135 years since the 1880s with President Grover Cleveland), musicians have been vocalizing their unhappiness with the presumed results. Across a variety of genres, musicians have been speaking out against the Election Night results. Frank Iero of My Chemical Romance, L.S. Dunes, and various solo projects endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris ahead of Election Day; however, he has now called the results “shameful.” Waterparks frontman… Read more »

It’s a good day to be an Anthony Green fan! The Circa Survive frontman has released two new singles: the folky “Last Summer In America” and the twinkling “All Hours.” “I was walking around Europe a lot on the recent LS Dunes tour, and I found myself singing these words in this melody,” Green shares via Instagram. “I heard somebody say the ‘last summer in America’, but referring to how they were in America last summer, past tense.” He continues, “I started dreaming up the idea of writing a simple folk song about how we seem to be more inclined… Read more »
