Today is the day

Once, they were Killing For Friday. After a bit of member-switching they changed their name to Currents. They do the loud-soft indie rock with some atmospheric fuzz that makes me think of Swervedriver (not that I like them as much as Swervedriver, but then again, what do I?).

Shouty action from Peter Johnson.



Rhythm section action with Rob Johnson on drums and a bassist who may or may not be Jon Tittley (they've misplaced a couple in recent months, I understand)! I assume it's not since Jon apparently doesn't use a Fender.



The whole blurry lot, with Ben Scriver at left.



More Ben!



More Rob!



Some assorted rocking about.



More shouting!



Background faceoff action!



Stomping action!



The band is on the road right now - they play Quebec City tonight. Ben will be back in town to open for Chuck Ragan of Hot Water Music, Tim Barry of Avail and Cavaliers! at Mavericks on Tuesday. They'll also be heading into the recording studio in March.
