Jimmy Eat World
Jimmy Eat World
Jimmy Eat World is an American rock band from Mesa, Arizona, that formed in 1993. The band is composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins, guitarist and backing vocalist Tom Linton, bassist Rick Burch and drummer Zach Lind. As of October 2016, Jimmy Eat World has released nine studio albums, the last eight featuring the current lineup.
Their second album, Clarity (1999) was largely overlooked upon release, but grew to cult status and is largely regarded as a landmark record of the third-wave emo era, influencing many modern rock bands over the following decades.
The four piece’s commercial breakthrough came with the successful release of several singles from the album Bleed American (2001). Four singles from the album charted within the top twenty positions of the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, with “The Middle” reaching the number one position.
