oh my gawd, i LOVE this band!!
i've been searching up and down for the full album for almost 3 years on the net after hearing their groundbreaking, life-changing single (to me at least) In Circles and today, i have actually gotten hold of their album - Diary!!!
ahhh, i'm so happy!!

here's a bit of info on them:

The Background:

Vocalist/guitarist Jeremy Enigk, guitarist Dan Hoerner, bassist Nate Mendel, and drummer William Goldsmith first formed Sunny Day Real Estate in 1992. Their debut full-length record, 1994's Diary, by turns powerfully emotional, beautifully melodic, and punchy as hell (often in the same song), quickly established them as favorites amongst fans and critics alike.
The band toured throughout 1994 and in early 1995, and, yes, they really were as good as everyone says they were.

After recording their self-titled second album in March 1995, Sunny Day Real Estate broke up. Sunny Day Real Estate was released by Sub Pop in November of the same year.

What's that saying about stars that burn brightest?

The Foreground:

Nate and William went on to join Dave Grohl in the Foo Fighters, and Dan opted for something a little more off the beaten path: living and farming in Washington with his new wife and dog. Meanwhile, Jeremy recorded a solo album filled with lush compositions fleshed out with the help of a 21-piece orchestra. Return of the Frog Queen found Jeremy no less passionate for his orchestral inclinations: the solo record draws upon the urgency of punk rock and mixes it with classical instrumentation for stunning results.
