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!
