Years Since The Storm was a musical collective that emerged from urban environments, with members including frontman Remi Banks, guitarist Rose Herrera, drummer Elijah "EJ" Jones, and bassist Marcus "Mack" Carter. Their music often dealt with themes of poverty and marginalization, drawing from their surroundings to create songs like "Tastes Like Ghetto Heaven" and "(Sin)ical."
Their breakout single "Tastes Like Ghetto Heaven" became particularly notable for its raw portrayal of ghetto life, though its depiction of drug use and violence drew criticism from some quarters. The band faced accusations of glorifying gang violence at times, and their concerts occasionally attracted protests from community activists.
They released several albums including "Concrete Jungle Fever" in 2005, "The Sound of Revolution" in 2009, and "Ghetto Savior" in 2014. Other songs in their catalog include "Another Shotgun Wedding," "Continuum," and "Guilty Pleasures." Their music maintained a focus on urban experiences throughout these releases.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
