Artistfacts:
| Being dumped by their record label in 1999 may have been the best thing that ever happened to these guys. Since then they have broken through to the mainstream. |
| Once on their own, they did a self-promoted tour of Europe using the van bought for them by the record company. They had never had records released anywhere but the United States. |
| In 2000, they played Germany's two biggest festivals, Bizarre and PopKomm, and in 2000 their 1999 album charted there. That helped raise money for future recordings. |
| Based in Tempe, Arizona. |
| Signed to Capitol Records in 1995 after a mere few months of playing locally. |
| Their debut album, Static Prevails, sold only 10,000, but it's just gone up from there. |
| "Jimmy" is Linton's younger brother, who had a weight problem. Adkins' younger brother drew a picture on Jimmy's door of him putting a globe in his mouth, and wrote on it "Jimmy Eat World." That's how they got their name. |

| Actually, Jimmy Eat World released "Bleed American" July 2001. That's the one with "The Middle" and "The Authority Song" and stuff. It was just re-released in October and the only thing they released were to words from the cover. The name of track #1 "Bleed American" was never officially changed, but some people still call it "Salt Sweat Sugar."
I bought "Bleed American" September 10th, 2001. - A.J., Chicago, IL |
| They Were Going to call one of their albums Bleed American, but did'nt after 9/11. - Mike, Germantown, United States |
| Jimmy Eat World rule, the lyrics 'The first star I see, may not be, a star' from their song 'For Me This Is Heaven' feature in Something Corporate's 'Konstantine'. - Jon, Luton, England |
| Jimmy Eat World's real first album was self titled. Label or not its still an album. The second was called 1-2-3-4(an E.P.) and Clarity was thier fourth after Static Prevails. Many think their first was Bleed American but that was thier 5th. since 2002 they were thought to be a one hit wonder(The Middle), but they also released "Sweetness" which was a great song but not very popular. They are coming out with a new album called "Futures" in fall 2004. can't wait! - Everett, Providence, RI |
