About Currents

Currents is the project of Brian Lettieri, a guitarist and producer who emerged from the indie rock scene with a distinctly introspective approach. His music trades in atmospheric guitars, restrained vocals, and production that feels deliberately lo-fi without being sloppy. The project gained traction among indie listeners for its ability to sound both nostalgic and contemporary, pulling from post-punk and alternative rock lineages while maintaining something that feels genuinely his own. Tracks like 'Let It Go' showcase his knack for building tension through repetition and texture rather than bombast. 'Alone Together' became something of a focal point, demonstrating his gift for melancholic hooks that stick without feeling saccharine. What separates Currents from the pack of bedroom producers is an apparent restraint—he doesn't overcomplicate things, and there's a confidence in letting space breathe. The project has developed a dedicated following among people who actually know their guitar pedals and appreciate when someone uses delay the way it's meant to sound.

Currents shows are quiet, attentive affairs. Lettieri commands the room through restraint—there's no grandstanding. Crowds lean in rather than jump around. The guitar work is precise enough that people genuinely listen. There's something hypnotic about watching him build these things in real time.

Currents + Baltimore

Currents brought their particular brand of metalcore to Baltimore Soundstage in October 2023, running through a nine-song set that leaned heavy on the bleaker corners of their catalog. They opened with 'Living in Tragedy' and spent the evening cycling through material that felt designed to wear you down—'The Death We Seek' and 'Into Despair' sat comfortably alongside 'Remember Me' and 'So Alone,' songs that seemed to hit harder in a room full of people all experiencing them together. It was the kind of set that doesn't try to win you over so much as pull you under.

Live Music in Baltimore

Baltimore's metal scene has always had a harder edge than most—it's a city that doesn't do much softening around the corners. The metalcore and post-hardcore acts that come through here find an audience that appreciates directness and heaviness without the theatrics. Currents fits that ethos naturally, the kind of band that works best in mid-sized venues like Soundstage where the sound can get dense and the room can actually feel the weight of what's happening onstage.

Baltimore road trip to see Currents?

Stay in Canton or Federal Hill—both neighborhoods have the restaurants and bars worth spending time in. Try Alma Cocina for Peruvian fare or Pabu for Japanese if you want something substantial before the show. Walk around the Inner Harbor, grab coffee at a local roaster. The Walters Art Museum is genuinely excellent and free. Check out what's at The Lyric or Hippodrome if there's live music the nights before or after. Baltimore's best asset is that it doesn't feel overly polished—the authenticity matches the vibe of a band like Journey.
