Pop-rock trio Against The Current’s “Weapon” is a fiery, climatic tune with killer vocals and equally intense instrumentals.

“Weapon” has the grit and edge necessary to attract rock fans, while maintaining the melodic hooks needed for pop listeners to stay engaged. This stylistic choice means the single has the widest-ranging possible audience, and is sure to appeal to many different kinds of people. 

Lead singer Chrissy Costanza shines through with passionate and determined vocals, while guitarist Dan Gow contributes classic, energizing pop-punk riffs. What drives this tune in part, however, are the powerful drums, laid down by drummer Will Ferri. When all of these components are added together, the song becomes an absolute powerhouse. 

“Weapon” is a forceful and highly impactful single from Against The Current, and anyone looking for a new band and song to love should definitely check it out.
