In a city where bands are about as original as the coffee they drink, Fight the Current brings something new to the table. With their own brand of alternative rock driven by a timeless sense of acoustic pop, Fight the Current has exploded onto the music scene of Seattle and has quickly become one of the fastest growing bands of the area. It all started with a guy and his guitar… Lead guitarist, song writer, and founder of the band, James Reber began writing music in 2007, with a close friend and fellow musician, the two quickly bonded musically and with producer Dylan Fant, produced music that began to gain some momentum. In a music scene that was spewing out more of the same, and where musical depth beyond that of a kiddy pool was hard to find, the group now named Fight the Current (quite fittingly) began to push some of these lines set by the music industry. In 2009 the band found a solid lineup with lead vocalist Tim Tourje and bass guitarist Alex Buck, after releasing their second album Fight the Current, began supporting industry icons such as Rooney, Marcy Playground, The Classic Crime, Cute is What We Aim For, Project 86, The Calling, Lydia, Sherwood, Seabird and many other large acts. Having become one of the most respected bands in the area, bringing out consistent fans, the band has now begun moving on to bigger and better things. 2010 will be a defining year in the legacy of this musical machine. With their junior effort’s release planned for summer 2010, the band is currently collaboratively working towards what they consider to be their best work yet. With Seattle conquered, the band will now be focusing on playing for their many fans around the country. Don’t be surprised if you start hearing this band's name on people’s tongues, because with musical depth and energy like this, its going to spread like wildfire.
