History

Formation and origin of name

Jimmy Eat World formed in Mesa, Arizona in 1993. Mesa ( "MACE-uh") is a city in Maricopa County, in the U The State of Arizona ( is a state located in the southwestern region of the United States. Singer/guitarist Jim Adkins and drummer Zach Lind, who had been friends since kindergarten, joined with guitarist Tom Linton and bass player Mitch Porter to try their hand at music. In its early years, the band emulated the style of its punk-rock influences, with Linton serving as the band's primary singer. Within the span of a couple of years, the band recorded and released three singles and a full-length on local label Wooden Blue Records.

The band's name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between Linton's younger brothers, Jim and Ed, who fought frequently. Jim usually won, but Ed got his revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; the picture bore the caption "Jimmy eat world". [5]

Static Prevails

Eventually, spurred by bands such as Fugazi and Sunny Day Real Estate, the band began to experiment with a sub-genre of the hardcore punk scene called "emo". Fugazi are an American alternative / post-hardcore band that formed in Washington D Sunny Day Real Estate was an Indie rock band formed in Seattle Washington. Hardcore punk (now usually referred to as simply hardcore) is a subgenre of Punk rock that originated in North America in the late 1970s Emo (ˈiːmoʊ is a genre of music that originated from Hardcore punk early on and adopted Pop-punk influences later on in the 2000s when As they began writing songs and touring in the indie scene, the band encountered like-minded bands such as Christie Front Drive, Sense Field, and Seven Storey Mountain working on similar sounds. In Popular music, independent music, often abbreviated as indie, is a term used to describe independence from major commercial record labels and an autonomous Christie Front Drive was an Indie rock / emo band formed in Denver in 1993. Sense Field was an Pop-rock / Post-hardcore band from California that formed in 1991 out of the ashes of hardcore band Reason to Believe Seven Storey Mountain is an indie rock band from Phoenix Arizona, United States

As the band continued touring, it began to attract modest attention in the indie underground. In 1995, the band caught the ears of a talent scout at Capitol Records and was offered a deal shortly thereafter. Capitol Records is a major United States -based Record label owned by EMI and located in Hollywood California and New York City as [6] Just prior to signing with Capitol, bass player Mitch Porter parted ways with the band and was replaced by Linton's friend Rick Burch. After a brief scouting for producers, the band joined up with Drive Like Jehu drummer Mark Trombino to record its major-label debut, Static Prevails. Drive Like Jehu was an American Post-punk / Post-hardcore band led by Rick Froberg and John Reis, formed in 1990 in San Diego Mark Trombino is a rock music producer He started his career as the drummer of Night Soil Man before playing for Drive Like Jehu. Static Prevails is the second Album by Jimmy Eat World. It was released on July 23, 1996.

In the ensuing years, the band was allowed to release singles on independent labels, including split 7-inch's with Christie Front Drive, Jejune, Sense Field, and Mineral. Christie Front Drive was an Indie rock / emo band formed in Denver in 1993. Jejune is the name of a band which formed in the mid-90s at Berklee College of Music in Boston, Massachusetts. Sense Field was an Pop-rock / Post-hardcore band from California that formed in 1991 out of the ashes of hardcore band Reason to Believe Mineral was a prominent mid-90's American emo band originally from Houston, Texas, but soon relocated to Austin following their formation Where most major-label bands were ostracized from the underground as "sell-outs," Jimmy Eat World found itself in a unique position as a major label band embraced by the indie community.

Clarity

In 1998, the band entered the studio (again with Mark Trombino) to record its follow-up, titled Clarity. Clarity is the third Album by Jimmy Eat World. Starting with this album Jim Adkins began to sing most of the songs on this and subsequent The band delivered the completed album to the label mid-way through the year, but found itself out of favor with the new label heads at Capitol, who shelved the album to focus on more popular acts. [6] As a way to help promote what had been recorded, the band negotiated with Capitol to release a self-titled EP on indie-label Fueled by Ramen (run by labelmates Less Than Jake) containing two songs from Clarity and three b-sides. Fueled By Ramen is a record label formed by John Janick and Vinnie Fiorello in 1996 Less Than Jake is an American Ska punk band from Gainesville Florida. The band sent the EP to several key alternative stations, including Los Angeles' KROQ, in the hopes that they might give the songs some airplay. KROQ-FM is a commercial Radio station located in Los Angeles California, broadcasting on 106 To its surprise, several of the stations added lead single "Lucky Denver Mint" to regular rotation. Lind recalled in 2001, "It's sad to say, but when 'Lucky Denver Mint' got played on KROQ, it was probably the first time a lot of people at Capitol had heard us. "[6] Capitol reacted to the response at radio by scheduling the full album for release in February 1999.

On the subsequent tour for Clarity, the band was surprised to find itself playing to larger and larger crowds. [7] The band began to receive much more attention from its label, who released a video for "Lucky Denver Mint" and featured the song on the label's soundtrack to the movie Never Been Kissed. Never Been Kissed is a 1999 comedy directed by Raja Gosnell and starring Scream 's Drew Barrymore and David Arquette However, the label's enthusiasm was short-lived. Plans to release "Blister" as a single were axed, and the band was dropped by the label by the end of the year. As Lind related in 2002, "I think that it was a case of us not being ready to be on a major label and them not being ready to promote us. Capitol was just sort of the wrong place at the wrong time. "[8]

Despite their lack of a label, the band decided that they wanted to push into Europe. The band purchased copies of Clarity at cost from Capitol and shipped them to stores in Europe. Upon arriving in Germany for a short European tour, the band was surprised to find a packed house waiting, despite the band not having a European label. Having already cut ties with their management, the band used the experience as motivation to start working for themselves to build an audience. [6]

Bleed American

The band decided to record its next album without the help of a label, supporting itself with touring and by compiling its previously-released singles into Singles, which was released on indie label Big Wheel Recreation. Bleed American is the fourth Album by Jimmy Eat World. It was released on July 18, 2001, and became self-titled ( Jimmy Eat Singles is a collection of previously unreleased songs and rare b-sides by Jimmy Eat World. Big Wheel Recreation was an Independent record label based in Boston, Massachusetts, United States. The band also took on day jobs, saving as much as they could to spend on the sessions. [9] The band worked for a third time with Trombino, who agreed to defer payment until after the album's release in order to keep costs down. [10]

The finished album was titled Bleed American. Bleed American is the fourth Album by Jimmy Eat World. It was released on July 18, 2001, and became self-titled ( Jimmy Eat Joining with Gersh's new management company, GAS Entertainment, the band scouted for a new label. The result was a short bidding war, with interest coming from several major labels, including Capitol Records. [6] The band eventually signed with DreamWorks. DreamWorks Records was an American Record label. Founded in 1996 by David Geffen, Steven Spielberg and Jeffrey Katzenberg as a subsidiary The completed album was released in July 2001 with the title track (titled "Salt Sweat Sugar" in the UK) as the lead single. (Following the September 11, 2001 attacks, the band decided to re-issue the album as Jimmy Eat World out of concern that the title Bleed American might be misinterpreted. [11])

It is the second single and third track from Jimmy Eat World's album Bleed American. The video for the song received significant airplay on MTV, including on Total Request Live.

Futures

After lengthy touring in support of Bleed American, the band regrouped to work on the follow-up in early 2004. Once again, the band joined up with Trombino, but the collaboration was short-lived. As the sessions began, the band decided that they didn't have enough material for a cohesive album. The band's desire to spend more time writing songs conflicted with Trombino's availability, as he already had other projects on his schedule. [12]

Instead, the band brought in producer Gil Norton, well-known for his work with the Pixies and the Foo Fighters. Gil Norton is a British Record producer known for his work with such bands as Pixies, Echo and the Bunnymen, Foo Fighters, Pixies are an American Alternative rock band formed in Boston Massachusetts in 1986 Foo Fighters is an American Alternative rock and Post-grunge band formed by singer/guitarist Dave Grohl in 1995 Lind explained in 2007, "After we left the studio with Trombino, we came up with 'Polaris', 'Work', 'Pain', [and] '23' – the songs that really gave Futures its heartbeat. "[12] Futures was released in October 2004, with "Pain" serving as the lead single. Futures is the fifth studio album by Alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on October 19, 2004. (By this time, Dreamworks had been acquired by Interscope Records.
