Against The Current drop new single ‘Always You & I’ and release ‘Dead Man Walking’ video ahead of their 17-date Til Death & Back Tour this autumn
Against The Current have released “Always You & I,“ a new single and another preview of their upcoming album, arriving July 3, 2026 alongside the official music video for recent single “Dead Man Walking.” The Poughkeepsie trio, fronted by Chrissy Costanza, have been building toward their next full-length project through a series of singles that demonstrate both their melodic range and their willingness to operate across the emotional spectrum of contemporary pop rock. “Always You & I” lands firmly in the record’s most openly romantic territory, and it arrives with a 17-date Til Death & Back Tour announced for autumn, including five UK dates before a run through Europe.
The song’s emotional premise is immediately clear from Costanza’s own description of it. “‘Always You & I’ is about a love that transcends time, a soulmate that is destined across every lifetime,” she explains. “It’s about finding that person who is so certain and familiar that meeting them feels like coming home from the very first moment. They are the answer to every question; until the very end of all things, it was always them.” That framing positions “Always You & I” as the kind of love song that reaches for something bigger than a single relationship, using the specific to address the universal, which is exactly the register where Against The Current’s best songwriting has always operated.
‘Dead Man Walking,’ Ryan Valdez, and the Double Release
The accompanying video for “Dead Man Walking,” directed by longtime Against The Current collaborator Ryan Valdez, arrives simultaneously with the new single, giving fans two pieces of visual and sonic content in the same release window. The Valdez relationship is a meaningful one in the context of Against The Current’s visual identity. Consistent creative partnerships tend to produce more coherent visual albums across a campaign, and the decision to premiere the “Dead Man Walking” video at this moment, as “Always You & I” arrives, suggests a campaign that understands the value of building rather than simply dropping.
“Always You & I” follows “Dead Man Walking” in a singles rollout that is doing the work of establishing the emotional range of the forthcoming album before it has a formal title or release date. The two tracks sit at different ends of the band’s dynamic: “Dead Man Walking” with a harder, more confrontational energy; “Always You & I” with the openness and certainty of a love song that does not hedge. Together they draw a clear picture of what the record is likely to contain.
The Til Death & Back Tour and What Autumn Looks Like
The 17-date Til Death & Back Tour begins October 30 in Glasgow at SWG3 TV Studio and runs through Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham, and London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire before crossing to mainland Europe. The European leg moves through Paris, Saarbrücken, Brussels, Cologne, Utrecht, Hamburg, Berlin, Vienna, Munich, Zurich, Stuttgart, and Wiesbaden, closing November 21. The O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire date on November 4 is the UK headline of the routing, a venue that holds 2,000 in its main room and represents a significant step up in London headline scale for the band.
Against The Current formed in 2011 and have spent fifteen years building an internationally devoted fanbase through consistent recording and a touring footprint that has taken them through festival appearances, arena support slots, and increasingly ambitious headline runs. The Til Death & Back Tour is the most geographically ambitious headline run of their career to date, and the singles campaign building toward it has delivered enough material to understand why the confidence behind that routing is warranted.
