Portraits of Past was an American emo-hardcore band from the San Francisco Bay Area that existed roughly from 1993-1995.
As Kent McClard recounts on the Ebullition website, the bands popularity grew only a couple of years after their demise at the end of 1995.
Former members of the band later formed other projects such as Nexus Six, Seventeen Queen, The Audience, Funeral Diner, Vue, Bellavista and …Who Calls So Loud.
