Sunny Day Real Estate kicked off their tour tonight with an unofficial, surprise show in Tacoma, Washington. And apparently they have a new song.

Consider this a (hopefully short) spell of regurgitated music info while I give myself a bit of a mental break.

Dude’s been working quite a bit to track down information concerning the slightly-guarded/unknown state of Thorns of Life and their debut album. But seriously – who thought this would happen? … [Read more…]
You can say that again Brian! Our old Twitter buddy dropped the hint back in March about the potential reunion, which I promptly picked up and got a screen shot. One month later and BAM, instant SDRE reunion meme… possibly fueled by the combination of Marco Collins’ tweets and blip.fm entries, Travis Hay’s bit on … [Read more…]
