Portraits of Past was an emo band from the San Francisco Bay Area that existed roughly from 1994-1995.http://www.portraitsofpast.com/#History (A very short bio on their official website.) The genre of music that they helped create is often described as "screamo," though that term was not used at the time the band was active. As Kent McClard recounts on the Ebullition website, the band's popularity grew only a couple of years after their demise at the end of 1995.http://www.ebullition.com/catalog32.html (Information on the Portraits of Past records that Ebullition released.) Former members of the band later formed Nexus Six, Seventeen Queen, The Audience, Funeral Diner, Vue and Bellavista.
