Antine knew an infusion would be his creation and together with the professional talents of bassist &#8211; George Pond (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DisciplesofVerity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disciples Of Verity<\/a>); drummer &#8211; Chris Moore (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ultraphonix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ultraphonix<\/a>); guitarist &#8211; Joe Gareri (<a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/JoeGareriProject\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Joe <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/m.facebook.com\/JoeGareriProject\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gareri Proje<\/a>ct the music written, recorded, and produced would result in a rock music experience. Each single released thus far has placed a well-known featured vocalist and <strong>&#8220;We Are Not The Same&#8221; <\/strong>has certainly accomplished this marker again with Marcos Leal of III Nino as STC&#8217;s guest vocalist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>ABOUT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having played in numerous bands throughout the years, Guitarist Greg Antine came to a point in his career where he wanted to branch out and write songs that had more depth and were inspired by his personal life experiences.&nbsp;Having grown up less than two miles from the beaches of South Jersey, The entire vibe of Swim the Current is infused with elements of the ocean and beaches of South Jersey where Greg still resides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having worked with Bassist George Pond for several years on previous projects including, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/DisciplesofVerity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Disciples Of Verity<\/a>, Greg expressed his concept for Swim The Current to George in hopes of collaborating with him on this new music venture.&nbsp;The two began to flesh out ideas in George\u2019s home studio and realized quickly that they were on to something special, but still needed something more to see their ideas through to complete their concepts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greg was introduced to Joe Gareri, Guitar\/Keyboards, by George during the Disciples Of Verity debut album recording sessions which Joe is also featured as a guest artist.&nbsp;The three of them immediately hit it off and worked extremely well together.&nbsp;Greg and George realized that Joe\u2019s cinematic writing style would be a perfect match for their concepts and Joe was then brought in as a full-time member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After two songs were completed and demo\u2019d in George\u2019s studio utilizing programmed drums, it was suggested by their friend Allyson Song River Jaynes, that they reach out to her friend, veteran drummer Chris Moore of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ultraphonix\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ultraphonix<\/a>, Rock Of Ages, to see if he would be interested in working with the project.&nbsp;Upon hearing the strength of songwriting and musicianship of the band, Chris was all in and signed on as the fourth full-time member of STC and now the band was complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From day one Greg\u2019s vision for STC was to feature various vocalists for each of the songs who would differentiate the sound and essence of each one, making them individually unique.&nbsp;Guest vocalists for the project have included: Charlie Berezansky (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/wearevexes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">VEXES<\/a>), Dan Caputo (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/negativeskynj\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Negative Sky<\/a>), Chaka Malik (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/87018-Orange-9mm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Orange 9mm<\/a>, BURN) Jai Messina (Jai Diablo)(<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dragpipe\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DragPipe<\/a>, Stem), and Greg Christie (ElevenAfter, Nude Groove), and now Marcos Leal (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Officialillnino\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">III Nino<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swim The Current\u2019s sound is influenced and reminiscent of many of their favorite artists including, Deftones, Faith No More, Sevendust, POD, and Stabbing Westward. They continue to write new music and will have additional guest vocalists in their future releases.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Band Members:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Greg Antine &#8211; Guitar;&nbsp;George Pond &#8211; Bass; Joe Gareri &#8211; Guitar;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chris Moore- Drums;&nbsp;Guest Vocals Marcos Leal<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>CONNECT:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Facebook:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SwimtheCurrent\/\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Twitter:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<a class=\"twitter-timeline\" data-width=\"696\" data-height=\"1000\" data-dnt=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/swimthecurrent?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by swimthecurrent<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Instagram:<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.instagram.com\/swimthecurrent1\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Spotify:&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Swim The Current\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/artist\/3B5O5YsPqfcK0nZJflKk1H?si=ju51GduQRSSaydiFhg4v5g&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Purchase the single:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/bit.ly\/3ZpikFw\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SWIM THE CURRENT New Single\/Video &#8220;WE ARE NOT THE SAME&#8221; Feat. on Vocals Marcos Leal of III Nino.
