Our Past Days is a Sydney-based quintet that emerged during the mid-2010s wave of Australian melodic hardcore and pop-punk. Their sound identity is defined by a 'heavy-pop' aesthetic, utilizing the aggressive structures of post-hardcore (breakdowns, shouted vocals, dense layering) while maintaining the hook-driven sensibilities of 2000s emo.
The band's career arc saw them move from the more derivative 'easycore' sounds of their 2014 EPs toward a more sophisticated, atmospheric rock sound on their 2016 full-length 'Keep Safe', produced by Stevie Knight. Culturally, they represent a specific era of the Australian alternative scene, sharing stages with peers like Columbus and Trophy Eyes. Critical consensus highlights their ability to inject genuine emotional weight into a genre often criticized for superficiality. Their influence web connects the technicality of A Day To Remember with the earnestness of The Wonder Years, making them a staple for collectors of modern vinyl-era punk.
