Biography and Tour
Sunny Day Real Estate was an American rock band from Seattle, Washington. They were one of the first emo bands and helped pioneer the genre. The band formed in 1992 and released their debut album Diary in 1994. They gained a cult following with their next two albums, LP2 and How It Feels to Be Something On. The band broke up in 1995, but reunited in 1997 and released two more albums before breaking up again in 2001. In 2009, the band reunited for a third time and released a new album, The Rising Tide.
The band’s music is characterized by introspective lyrics, complex guitar work, and a dynamic range that goes from whisper-quiet to impossibly loud. Sunny Day Real Estate has been highly influential to many bands, both inside and outside the emo genre.
The band began practicing together in the basement of a house on Capitol Hill, which they nicknamed “The Practice House”. They quickly began playing shows around Seattle, often with fellow Seattle band Harvey Danger. In 1993, the band recorded a demo tape, which they self-released as a 7″ vinyl EP called SDRE. The EP sold out its initial pressing of 1,000 copies and caught the attention of Sub Pop Records, who signed the band and released their debut album Diary in 1994.
Diary was recorded in two weeks and was produced by Chad Bamford. The album was engineered by Steve Fisk and Jack Endino. It featured Jeremy Enigk’s lead vocals and guitar, Dan Hoerner’s guitar, William Goldsmith’s drums, and Nate Mendel’s bass.
The album was well-received by critics and is often cited as one of the best emo albums of all time. AllMusic called it “one of the finest albums to come out of the American underground rock scene in the 1990s.”
Sunny Day Real Estate toured extensively in support of Diary, playing shows with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Mudhoney. They also appeared on the Lollapalooza tour in 1994.
In 1995, the band recorded their follow-up album, LP2. The album was again produced by Chad Bamford and engineered by Jack Endino. It featured the same lineup as Diary, with the addition of keyboardist Aaron Sprinkle.
