23 Rainy Days formed in Los Angeles around vocalist and guitarist Ethan James, with Aiden Carter on bass, Ethan Woods on drums, and Emily Grey on keyboards. Their debut album 'Shattered Dreams' came out in 2011, featuring the single 'Broken' which connected with listeners. They followed with albums like 'The Phoenix Within' in 2016, 'Echoes of the Past' in 2019, and 'Unbreakable' in 2022.
Their songs often lean into introspective territory, with tracks like 'My Own Addiction' and 'The Ghost in You' showing their tendency toward moodier rock. The band's music has appeared in some films and television shows over time.
Ethan James faced personal struggles with substance abuse that became public around 2014, leading to a period where the band's continuity was uncertain. They regrouped and continued recording, with 'The Phoenix Within' reflecting some of that personal history.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
