Your Past, My Present formed in Chicago in 2015, started by childhood friends Anya Rose and Ethan Cole. They played local open mics and underground venues, building a following with what people called a raw, authentic sound. In 2017 they put out their debut EP, 'Trials and Tribulations,' which included the title track that became something of an anthem for listeners dealing with hard times.
Rose handles vocals while Cole plays guitar, and their music tends to pull from R&B, soul, and hip-hop. After that first EP, they released albums like 'Echoes of Yesterday' and 'Present Tense,' the latter shifting toward a more experimental, electronic direction. The band faced allegations against a former member in 2019, removed that person, and said they were committed to a safe environment.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
