Against the Current

Against The Current (often abbreviated as ATC) is an American pop-rock, pop-punk, alternative rock and synth-pop band from Poughkeepsie, New York formed in early 2011 by Daniel Gow, William Ferri and Jeremy Rompala. Christina Costanza joined in the summer of 2011, after being introduced to Gow, Ferri and Rompala through a mutual friend. Joe Simmons was invited to fill in as their bass player, but later joined the band after leaving his former one. Michael Ferri utilized his relationships with well known YouTube cover artists such as Kurt Hugo Schneider and Alex Goot to help the band achieve a considerable amount of fame via various covers of popular songs posted as collaborations on more established channels. Simmons and Rompala split with the rest of the band in 2014.
