The night’s show was jolted to a start by opening sets from two Australian bands. Yours Truly set the pace for the evening, bringing up the energy from the moment they walked on stage. Trophy Eyes followed up with another power punch of a performance to set the stage for Against The Current.

By the time Against The Current took the stage, the climate inside Paradise had already reached a rather more hellish temperature, but the rockers nevertheless delivered a high-velocity show. Lead singer Chrissy Costanza took advantage of the venue’s wide stage to stay in near constant motion while showcasing her strong vocals. The evening’s setlist featured the band’s latest music, including almost all of their 2021 album fever, but also their more recent singles “blindfolded” and “good guy.” Fans were not deprived of the band’s older material however, with familiar selections from early EPs making welcome appearances. The high energy concert came to an end with an encore performance of the grandiose “Legends Never Die,” followed by an invigorating closer with “weapon” that had the crowd moshing. Against The Current came in hot, never let up, and left the people at Paradise thirsty for more.
