Sunny Day Real Estate

Yeah I know you've heard of them, but just in case someone out there doesn't know who made emo music popular, lets cover it. Sunny Day Real Estate. There are a lot of bands that made emo, did emo, and were emo, but only few who made it famous. Sunny Day Real Estate was among the pack. Hell, they led the pack. Sunny Day Real Estate's song "Sometimes" is an anthem in my down time playlist. This song has many moments comparible to something Pinback or The Pixies might do, with melodies very much fitting for one of the greatest emo bands of all time. They are not virgins to reunions, and are currently sporting their second one. Be sure to purchase an expensive ticket to see them in a city near you (if they come).
