Biography:
Against the Current are a pop-punk band that formed in Poughkeepsie, New York in 2011. Led by singer Chrissy Costanza, guitarist/singer Dan Gow, and drummer Will Ferri, they initially built up a large following on YouTube covering songs like Owl City and Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time" and Kelly Clarkson's "Catch My Breath." Their own debut single, "Thinking," arrived in July 2012, followed a year later by "Closer, Faster," the latter of which also appeared on their debut EP Infinity in 2014.

2016!

CHORDS USED: E-A-D-G-B-E
------------ -----------
D -- 0-0-0-2-3-2
G -- 3-2-0-0-3-3
Am -- 0-0-2-2-1-0
Em -- 0-2-2-0-0-0
NOTE: The D doesn't sound exactly right to me in all places. I did try a whole host of other chords but I
couldn't quite get one to match! If you do find a better fit then please do let me know in the comments
section below! Thanks
Top tips: If playing an acoustic version, perhaps try switching out the Em for an Em7 (0-2-2-0-3-3) in
places to create a slightly different sound! Also, try palm muting when playing the bridge for a sound
that is closer to the original.
NOTE: (Thanks to user MattySievers for this!) E in the verses should really be a B for two counts then
E for two counts as the guitars and bass really do seem like they're sliding from the B up five octaves
to the E. <----- this version? Better for being true to the actual song as a band performance
My original version? Better for acoustic and solo performances
