Following two earlier EP releases, in 2015 the band went into the studio armed with a few ideas on how their debut album might sound. The result of was an absolute banger of an album - In Our Bones – delivering a youthful energy rarely found in music these days with Kerrang claiming: “Against The Current have made the record they've been threatening to do so for years.”

A slew of singles followed including Wasteland, Running With The Wild Things and Young & Relentless.

The swift success of the group can be boiled down to a simple philosophy as drummer, Will Ferri, states: “If we can get the audience as immersed in what we are doing as we are, then I think we have something really special.”
