Seattle emo pioneers Sunny Day Real Estate, featuring Foo Fighters‘ bassist Nate Mendel, are to reunite for a US reunion tour in the Autumn.
Mendel told Rolling Stone that the band had reunited to take care of “unfinished business”.
The band originally split three years after forming in 1995, allegedly due to some band members taking issue with frontman Jeremy Enigk‘s religious beliefs. They briefly reunited – without Mendel – but split again in 2001.
After the first split Mendel joined Foo Fighters. Former Sunny Day Real Estate member William Goldsmith were also briefly in Dave Grohl‘s band.
Sunny Day Real Estate are yet to reveal their forthcoming tour dates.
