The final Friday of October, Against the Current returned for their third studio album!
Fans of Against the Current have been dreaming of a third album. They’ll be pleased to know, not only is the day here, but it’s an album to behold. With a strong start, clear distinction between songs, and a sound that’s true to pop punk legacy. Till Death & Back is a 10-track treat for the Halloween weekend.
As stated, it’s an album that draws you in from track one. Fortune Favours the Brave comes in with a snappy drumbeat and has you moving along to a high-energy melody throughout. It’s an enjoyment that travels through to Dead Man Walking, which holds some gorgeous imagery within the lyrics. Another theme of the album, the lyrics that tell clear stories and takes the listener on a journey. All the way to the final track, which is also the title track. It does a good job of wrapping up all the themes, sounds and emotions of the album, and takes you back to the beginning to travel through it again.
An album that explores love, influence and identity. Till Death & Back stays true to genre, despite the diverse melodies between its tracks. It’s set to mark the next era for Against the Current.
