Somewhat lost in the shuffle of the big Jon and Kate breakup and unrest in Iran came the news Tuesday that pioneering '90s rock band Sunny Day Real Estate will reunite for a fall tour. SDRE is widely credited/blamed for creating emo, but trust me, this is a great band that hasn't played together since 2001. And for whatever it's worth, bassist Nate Mendel is a Foo Fighter.
The band will reissue its first two albums, "Diary" and "LP2," on Sub Pop in September in time for the tour, which hits Philly on Oct. 1. In the meantime, SDRE singer Jeremy Enigk has released a new solo album, "OK Bear." You can listen to one of the songs from his album below.
Jim James of My Morning Jacket fame has revealed that he'll release an EP of George Harrison covers in August. Apparently, James recorded these back in 2001 a few days after the Beatle died. Check out one of the tracks, "Behind That Locked Door," below.
Obits is a Brooklyn band I'm not very familiar with, comprised of members from some other bands that were apparently great but I also had never heard of. Anyway, I really like their song "Two-Headed Coin," so check that one out below as well.
Finally, Sonic Youth has released its newest noise/pop assault, "The Eternal." The lead single, "Sacred Trickster," can be streamed here, too.
