Melbourne-based punk/hardcore trio Past Present have today released their new single ‘Throw My Life Away’, the third single from their upcoming record, and a track that tackles issues of mental illness head on.

Rather than a lamentation, it’s an uplifting ode to the fact that nothing is ever beyond recovery.”So I threw my life away, and I lived my wasted days,” the band sing over rollicking percussion, “and I got back up again.”

Having supported the likes of Clowns, Clint Boge, Born Lion, Captives, Sisters Doll, Arcane Saints & Bareback Titty Squad, they’ve been honing their live sound since 2011, and are back onstage this Saturday December 17 at Musicman in Bendigo as part of a massive lineup of acts.
