Over the years Sunny Day Real Estate have been tagged as one of the leading progenitors of today’s emo music. Well, that’s up to you to decide, but Paramore‘s popular YouTube video cover of SDRE’s song “Faces In Disguise” recently received a wink and nod from Enigk.
“I’ve actually seen one of those (Paramore) videos and I think it’s amazing,” he said. ” I was absolutely flattered! Because, the singer, Hayley Williams has an amazing voice! So, to see her sing it, that’s super flattering to me. From time to time, I will You Tube old Sunny Day videos, and I came across that.”
