Riddled with nostalgia, the wistful melody will take you away to a place that once was. Inspired by his mom, Lead Singer Jake Novak took to music to share how he has been able to overcome adversity with the life lessons from his upbringing.

He said of the song's sentimental lyrics about resilience: "My mom didn't have a great relationship with her first husband, and she always told me that she loves life so much now, that she'd go through the bad times again knowing it would put her on the path to the life she has now. While I haven't gone through anything like she did, I love that attitude on life and I think there is a lot to be gained by having that mindset no matter what your struggle was. I love my life so much now, that I'd be willing to make the same mistakes again."

The Old Currents

Old Currents hit the ground running in December of 2017 with the spontaneous announcement of the band and unveiling of their first LP, "Three Chords & the Truth." Founding members Jake, Joe and Greg grew up together in Glen Rock, New Jersey and started playing together when they were teenagers.

After swapping stories, songs, and ambitions with Ryan Struck after a show, he promptly joined the band in winter of 2018. Old Currents is more than just a band; it is a declaration of dedication and intent to turn one-off bands and jam sessions into something real and something to truly be proud of.

Their inspirations span every facet of the musical universe from country to ska to hardcore and Old Currents prides themselves in seamlessly blending their diverse muses into a fresh iteration of alternative rock music.

In Fall 2019, Old Currents went to Portrait Recording Studio to write and record their first album as a four piece, "The Glory, The Defeat." This album marks a new wave for Old Currents.
