Canadian post-hardcore band Judgement has released their electrifying new single, “Currents,” a high-energy love song that is destined to dominate playlists this summer. “Currents” is the follow-up to Judgement’s single “solace&stillness,” released in January 2024, which recently surpassed half a million streams worldwide.
Vividly capturing the intense emotions of love’s intoxicating highs and heart-wrenching lows, the track combines raw energy with irresistibly catchy hooks, creating a fierce and infectious sound. The driving guitar riffs and thunderous drumbeats lay a powerful foundation. At the same time, the captivating harmonies and sing-along choruses ensure that listeners are transported to a place where music and emotion collide in perfect harmony.
The lyrics paint a picture of intimacy, from the trace of perfume on a pillowcase to the vastness of a California king bed that becomes a symbol of shared moments and sleepless nights. The chorus intensifies these emotions, likening the presence of the loved one to living without air, creating a palpable sense of suffocation and helplessness when they are apart. The metaphor of drowning in the current of their lover’s presence highlights the consuming and all-encompassing nature of their feelings.
The fusion of visceral power and pop sensibility of “Currents” will resonate with a wide audience, from post-hardcore enthusiasts to mainstream alternative rock fans. The new single comes on the heels of two sold-out shows at Hamilton’s Bridgeworks opening for post-hardcore veterans Silverstein and recent Juno Award nominees Softcult. Catch Judgement live at Doors Pub: Taco Joint and Metal Bar in Hamilton, Ontario, with Arcane Ghosts on June 14.
