By: Zulema.
Jimmy eat world is an awesome band to listen to anytime of day. Whenever you feel like acting crazy and singing outloud till you drop, listen to them. They have many hit songs and they always have a cool beat to them. Their music and lyrics are like no other band and that is what makes them so cool to listen. Jimmy Eat World started out in the year 1994 with four childhood pals Jim Adkins, Zach Lind, Tom Linton, and Mitch Porter. The band got their name by Tom's brothers Ed and Jimmy. Ed drew a picture of his brother Jimmy eating the World and under the drawing he wrote "Jimmy eat world". The members liked it and decided to name the band after it. Right after getting their band name down, they started playing around Meza, Arizona. They started their music with the sub-genre of "emo-core" and it started to spread throughout the country. They started to attract attention it the Indie underground. In 1995, Gary Gersh signed the band to Capitol records. Around this time, Mitch parted from the band and Rick Burch came into the picture. Jimmy Eat World has five popular releases:
• Static Prevails-released in 1996
• Clarity-released in 1999
• Bleed American-released in 2001
• Futures- released in 2001
• Stay on my Side Tonight- released in 2005
Recommendations:
"Sweetness" - (my personal favorite) It's the perfect song to listen and sing to and go crazy. It has an awesome jumpy beat to it and everything about it is very unique. The video is also very cool. It's not something you always see on television.
"The Middle" - Very popular and catchy song. Makes you get up and jump anytime and, like always, it has a cool beat and lyrics. Once you listen to it, you will get hooked on it. Te lyrics are very easy to relate with. It is about as girl who is giving up and they come and tell her that it will be alright.
"Pain" - Awesome song. It is cool and fun to listen to. Many people relate to their songs and this is one of them. It is about a girl causing him pain but he won't let that bother him. Very cool song and the video is not bad either.
