Sunny Day Real Estate

USA, 1992–now

Seattle band formed in 1992 (Jeremy Enigk, Dan Hoerner, Nate Mendel, William Goldsmith). Their debut Diary (1994) is a foundational emo record — dynamic, dramatic and confessional — whose influence runs through nearly every 2000s emo and post-hardcore band that followed.
