With the release yesterday of Jeremy Enigk's OK Bear comes this interesting news/rumour regarding a SDRE reunion Now, KEXP DJ Marco Collins — who also organized Enigk’s private preview show at the Triple Door Monday — is adding fuel to the fire. This morning, he Twittered this: “Sunny Day Real Estate @ Bumbershoot? Fact or fiction?” Ear Candy picked up on the message, calling Collins a “credible source” and stating that it was likely the band would, in fact, play at Bumbershoot. Lineout made a similar, more cautious speculation this [...]
Today is part 3 of my rant against American Idol. As I've been discussing before if people are paying attention to Idol music, they're not looking in other places...and therefore other musicians suffer.My problem today, is that just because you have a technically great voice...it doesn't necessarily mean you're a good pop/rock star. Some of the best stars of the rock/pop era don't have
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars You'd have to be living in a hole to not have heard of Jeremy Enigk , or at least his legendary band Sunny Day Real Estate ; he has since moved on to focus primarily on his solo efforts. His third LP, OK Bear, has just been released, and it's a step in a direction that many will be pleased to see him pushing. The opening tracks, "Mind Idea" and "Late of Camera" set the tone for [...]
while i was putting together the most recent sunny day i kept reminding myself to make mention that jeremy has a new record coming out called ok bear this tuesday, 5.12. as you can tell i failed to remind myself and thus here we are. ok bear is definitely more rock orientated than the orchestral leanings of return of the frog queen . if you're a sunny day or jeremy fan its definitely worth checking out, or shit even if you arent its a really good record. order it here [...]

So remember how the other day I mentioned Our Lady Peace's new record (and 311 a few weeks before that)? Well, not all 90s bands release record after record. Some go the normal route of breaking up and pursuing solo careers. Such is the case of Sunny Day Real Estate frontman, Jeremy Enigk. Enigk will release his latest solo record, OK Bear , on Tuesday, May 12, via his own label (who doesn't do that these days?), Lewis Hollow Recordings. Check out an MP3 after the jump.

i have probably told my sunny day real estate story before, and if i have, all apologies. its actually not much of an awesome story, in fact its kinda one of those you had to have been there types of stories. here i go anyway. back in 95 me and a couple buddies went to go see velocity girl, heard of them?, at the metro. sunny day was the opener, and while i had heard of em, i never heard em. we were going to skip them and head over to the gingerman for a few, but we happened to [...]

Perhaps it's only appropriate that in the same month that the music world remembers 15 years without Kurt Cobain, the band which proved to produce Sub Pop's second best selling album, behind only Nirvana's Bleach , is reportedly preparing a comeback. According to the always reliable Travis Hays at Ear Candy , the original lineup of Sunny Day Real Estate is currently rehearsing for what is a planned reunion tour. If the reunion were indeed to come to fruition, it would mark the first time that the Seattle post grunge quartet of Jeremy Enigk, [...]
Jeremy Enigk is ready to release his fourth solo album, Ok Bear, on May 12 via his own label, Lewis Hollow Records.

After being fairly recent with the songs used last week’s installment , I’m bringing it back a little over a decade for songs that may not be considered the best of the bands’ respective catalogues, but ones that hold special places in my heart. 13. The Smashing Pumpkins – Perfect (mp3) (3:22) [Time Remaining: 950:43] from Adore Adore seems to be the most maligned album by Billy Corgan and Co.; on it, the band made their foray into a darker, electronica influenced sound, [...]
The Appleseed Cast Sagarmatha Vagrant Records Release Date: 02.17.09 Appleseed Cast came on the scene for most people in 1998, when they signed to the then-mighty emo powerhouse Deep Elm Records . They were a textbook Deep Elm Band, appearing on the second (and arguably best) of the seminal Emo Diaries comps alongside early rare tracks from The Blacktop Cadence and Pop Unknown . As emo as Appleseed Cast is as a name, you may be surprised to find that the band initially took form under the [...]
From his storied turn towards Christianity to his involvement in legendary emo band Sunny Day Real Estate , Jeremy Enigk has lived a well-documented life, though unfortunately, it often is more tabloid fodder than about the music. However, this new tune shows that the backbone of piano combined with his voice still gives Jeremy that winning nod from fans. Download: Jeremy Enigk - Mind Idea [MP3]
I was so excited today when I read on my twitter feed that Jeremy Enigk (lead singer and songwriter for Sunny Day Real Estate) had a new song out and album ( Ok Bear , due May 12) on the way. The first thing I noticed about "Mind Idea" is how much Enigk nailed the vocals. He has one of the most distinct, and in my opinion, best voices I've heard. The song itself is wonderful and I can see hints that Enigk might be returning to a heavier, more guitar-oriented style with this song (it seems to [...]
Here's two non 'Diary' tracks from the defunct Sunny Day Real Estate. One from 'LP2' and 'How It Feels To Be Something On'. I wonder if they could pull Nate Mendel away from the stadium concerts to form a reunion? Seems to be the trend these days.

It is possible that you, the reader, have never heard of this band that I'm reviewing and might I add that it is truly a shame. Although The Appleseed Cast isn't a widely circulated band (at the moment), they have been pumping out albums since '97 and have undergone quite a genre-based metamorphosis. The original Appleseed Cast was, in fact, an emo band formed in Southern California by the name of December's Tragic Drive (does sound pretty emo doesn't it?). December's Tragic Drive [...]
