Against the Current has us reeling today with the brand new single “good guy” that will soon be classified as a classic ATC song. If you have that person that keeps trying to come back around after they’ve hurt you, this ones for you. You know them too well by now, and all signs point to them being full of shit. (Let’s be real, we’ve all got one by now.) Vocalist Chrissy Constanza said the new single is “all about going from anger to apathy, recognizing that this person that hurt you is too sad to hate.” She goes on… Read more »
