This week's #throwbackthursday will send us in the beginning of the 90's to a times when emo music hasn't been associated with the image which currently floats around your head. You know which image I mean... that one. Some people refer to that as emo's "second wave". I don't know, honestly. But it is damn good music.

Nearly 10 years ago when I got into Foo Fighters I started doing background checks on their members and that's how I found Sunny Day Real Estate - Nate Mendel's previous band. When I downloaded (no judgemental looks!) their first album Diary (1994), I was hooked for weeks. The distinguishable 90's sound, pure and raw emotional singing... you rarely hear anything like that nowadays! If you haven't listen to them, I highly recommend digging up that record. My favourite track is the one I'm about to share with you - "In Circles". The bassline - simply eargasmic.
