Sunny Day Real Estate and Cursive

Cursive, hailing from Omaha, has spent 30 years creating intense and ambitious music. Known for their cathartic sound and weighty themes, they explore complex societal issues. Their latest album, Devourer, showcases their enduring influence with incisive tracks like “Consumers.” Cursive remains vital, daring, and continually pushes creative boundaries.

Seattle's Sunny Day Real Estate, formed in 1992, emerged distinctly from the grunge era with Jeremy Enigk's unique vocals and melodic tunes. Known for albums like "Diary" and "LP2," they experienced breakups and reunions, with members joining Foo Fighters and releasing ambitious projects like Enigk's "Return of the Frog Queen." Their 1998 reunion album, "How It Feels to Be Something On," earned acclaim, followed by "The Rising Tide." Despite disbanding in 2001, they briefly reunited in 2009-2010, with "Lipton Witch" released in 2014.
