I LOVE The Sundays and that album so much, it is one of my favorites of all time. The Cranberries are an obvious choice for similar sounding bands since Dolores O'Riordan and Harriet Wheeler have similarly powerful vocals. This album specifically came out 3 years after RW&A is really great.
Cocteau Twins also have a somewhat similar thing going on, and maybe even Slow Pulp in a more folky way.

Okay this is a hard one to think of. I just gave Bull in the Heather a listen and it’s very 90s grunge, but I think uniquely still a very calm cadence. Vocally she kind of reminds me of Hole, maybe some songs like Violet or even Doll Parts off the Live Through This album would work, but I feel like Hole does build up in the song a little more. Possibly Cannonball by The Breeders? It’s one that is very quintessential 90s to me also.

The album Suburban Light might be less upbeat, but I think they were a precursor to Real Estate.
The band Beach Fossils also have a related sound, and I bet they are Real Estate fans.
I’d also say early Mac Demarco, the albums II and Salad Days. Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s II as well.

it’s nice to have a forced walk in the morning before work and it’s not really of shame if you’re in love
