Jimmy Eat World - Biography
Jimmy Eat World is an Americanrock group from Mesa, Arizona, formed in 1993.
Biography
The band's music is commonly classified as emo, in particular because of their emotional sound on their 1999 album Clarity. The album Clarity received little support in the United States from the band's label, Capitol Records. The band purchased albums directly from the distributor and shipped them independently to Europe, achieving success in Germany. Realizing they were not valued by their label, they left for DreamWorks.
Their next album, Bleed American, found much greater success stateside due to the catchy single and provocative music video 'The Middle'. The album's name was changed to Jimmy Eat World after the events of September 11, 2001 in order to avoid misinterpretation of the original title. Their latest album Futures was released in 2004.
The name Jimmy Eat World does not refer to Jim Adkins. Tom Linton's younger siblings, Ed and Jimmy fought constantly when they were younger. Jimmy, who was stronger and overweight, would usually win. Ed, at 8-years-old, as revenge, drew with crayons a picture of Jimmy shoving the entire world into his gaping mouth with the caption, 'Jimmy eat world

As we’ve discussed in previous editions of Band Name Bureau, the longer a band exists, the less weird their name sounds. My go-to examples are Ned’s Atomic Dustbin and Screeching Weasel, two bands whose patently ridiculous names I stopped noticing decades ago.
Jimmy Eat World—who heads out on tour this month—is another one. Back in the mid-’90s, my favorite local band in Houston was called Blueprint. (A hopelessly generic and overused moniker, to be sure.) In fact, they were the first band I ever interviewed, which MaximumRocknRoll published and fulfilled my punk-rock dreams at the tender age of 18.
The summer of 1996, Blueprint released a split 7-inch with an Arizona band I’d never heard of called Jimmy Eat World. The name was undoubtedly silly, but I don’t remember giving it a second thought, as any issue of MaximumRocknRoll in those days contained a couple dozen that were more ludicrous (such as Your Folks Throwing Up on My Folks).
By 1996, Jimmy Eat World was already on their first reinvention. Two years prior, the teenagers had released a self-titled full-length that bore only a slight resemblance to the band on the Blueprint split (and an even slighter resemblance to the one that would release Static Prevails later in 1996).
