Sunny Day Real Estate

Blending Seattle grunge with melodic pop and Jeremy Enigk's soulbaring vocals, critically acclaimed band set the blueprint for emo.

Biography

Sunny Day Real Estate began as part of Seattle's grunge explosion in the mid-1990s. Their debut on the iconic Sub Pop label found them mixing heavy rock with a distinct '70s influence. Though they didn't initially change the world à la Nirvana, they subsequently became the prime influence on the emo scene. After a split that found singer Jeremy Enigk releasing an acclaimed solo album, the band reconvened and released new material with a more mature, varied sound. Following their tour for their fourth album, THE RISING TIDE, SDRE called its quits again, only to reemerge as the Fire Theft in 2003.
