Ground Control Touring

Portraits Of Past prefers to be called a hardcore band, though many other adjectives and sub-genres have been leveled at them over the 30 years since these five childhood friends initially called it quits.

After many years of pent-up demand from listeners old and new, the darkly melodic, explosive, and reluctantly “legendary” five-piece originally from the San Francisco Bay Area is back for Summer 2025 to support a vinyl reissue of their classic 1996 self-titled album. This time around, showgoers can also expect the live debut of tracks from the 2009 Cypress Dust Witch EP.
