In 1994 I was in college, and I met a kid there named Ken, we both skated and were straight edge. And we both loved the band sunny day real estate. In 94 SDR released the best record that sub pop records ever put out diary. This slab of music changed my life. Its haunting, simple yet complex, hard and soft at the same time, with abstract lyrical content that makes you swim in a sea of mental immages. the cd has never ever fallen out of favor with me. I cant believe this band never became the next nirvana. ( thats what people were saying about them ) I feel that fame scared them a bit and they imploded befor the jump to stardum was taken. Not only that but the band had all sorts of odd ball quarkes. They refused to play California, do interviews, stuff like that. They did do a advertisment for a large store but had a fake singer in the band and changed there name for the add. But the real name did leak out at one point.
They called it quits due to internal tention, and Jeremy being a reborn Chirstian.
this post is a too be continued due to the self titled LP and the band getting back together.
PS this disc / LP was re released last year by sub pop with new packeging and extra tracks. but thats a nother post for latter.
