The Downbeat Podcast - Currents
Рет қаралды 20,732
3 ай бұрынMy guests this week are Brian and Chris of Connecticut metalcore band CURRENTS. Chris is already Downbeat alumni with his other band SHADOW OF INTENT, so we talk about balancing two very successful bands, as well as touring, the history of the band, accidentally stealing riffs, nando's and much more.

It’s refreshing to see how Chris is super confident in his abilities but not cocky about it. Doesn’t deflect all the compliments but also isn’t condescending or patronizing about what he knows, and he isn’t afraid to acknowledge that he’s smart and very talented. Love this episode!

I only got in to currents 2 years ago saw them live twice last year first their headlining tour for the death we seek then with polaris Brian is such an amazing vocalist. he sounds spot on live. even though I just got in to them, they are easily top 3 metalcore bands for me right now

The Live Nation thing, some bands and venues are not getting the money all the time, and it does seem to be a temporary thing and the charges are going to come back. Tank the Tech did a whole (at least a few) video(s) on it.

Rock bands absolutely need to start creating merch in different colours, man. I’m always looking to support bands, but black looks so incredibly bad on me. I turn ghostly white 👻 when wearing black (or white for that matter). Give me pink or neon green or whatever, instead of all this black!
