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. 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.[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. 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. 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''The band recorded their next album, Clarity, in late 1998 to early 1999 at Sound City and Clear Lake Audio, both in North Hollywood. The tracks were mixed at One on One in Los Angeles, and mastered at Bernie Grundman Mastering in Hollywood. The album Clarity marks the start of Jim Adkins - as opposed to Tom Linton providing lead vocals; Tom from this point only provides backing vocals on various tracks, with the exception of "Blister". The song "Goodbye Sky Harbor" is written based on the John Irving novel, A Prayer for Owen Meany. ''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. The band also took on day jobs, saving as much as they could to spend on the sessions.[7] 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.[8] Some of the drum tracks were recorded at Cherokee, then the band moved to Doug Messenger's harddrive analog and digital in North Hollywood, where five weeks of tracking completed the recording phase. Trombino then mixed the record at Extasy in Hollywood. The finished album was titled Bleed American. 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.[9]) The album's second single, "The Middle", became the band's biggest single to date, reaching #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. The video for the song received significant airplay on MTV, including on Total Request Live. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA.[10] In 2008, the album was re-released as a deluxe edition and renamed to its original title, Bleed American. This edition contains a total of 32 tracks – the original 11 as well as 21 bonus tracks, which are live recordings, demos and b-sides. ''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.[11] Instead, the band brought in producer Gil Norton, well-known for his work with the Pixies and the Foo Fighters. 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] The Band also made an appearance on the hit TV show One Tree Hill in 2005 where they played many of their new songs from this album; "23", "Kill", "Work" and "Polaris" were the songs featured in One Tree Hill in the Second Season. ''Chase This Light''After its tour, Jimmy Eat World headed home to Tempe and started working on material for a sixth album. The band decided to self-produce the album, enlisting Chris Testa (Dixie Chicks) and John Fields (Switchfoot, Mandy Moore) as co-producers and Butch Vig (Nirvana, The Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day) as executive producer. As Burch explained to the St. Petersburg Times, "[Vig's] role wasn't in the studio everyday. We would send Butch samples of what we were doing every couple of days."[13] Chase This Light was released on October 16, 2007, with "Big Casino" as the lead single. "Always Be" was the most recent single off the album, released in December 2007. Seventh studio album, 2010 and onwardsOn June 13, 2008, the band revealed that they would begin work on their seventh album later in the year.[14] They also stated that, when their current contract expires with Interscope, they may consider self-releasing. Jimmy Eat World performed a tour in early 2009 to commemorate the ten year anniversary of Clarity, making ten stops across the United States and playing the entire record.[15] According to the band's twitter page, they are working with their old producer Mark Trombino on a new batch of songs. The band also says they are hard at work on new music and are planning on releasing their new album sometime in 2010. Jimmy Eat World have been confirmed to play the Australian Soundwave festival during February and March 2010. The band replaced My Chemical Romance as one of the festival headliners and will also play two separate Australian shows in Melbourne and Sydney.[16] Band members Current line-up Jim Adkins - lead vocals, rhythm guitar Tom Linton - lead guitar, backing vocals Rick Burch - bass, backing vocals Zach Lind - drums, percussion Past members Mitch Porter - bass guitar Discography Jimmy Eat World (1994) Static Prevails (1996) Clarity (1999) Bleed American (retitled "Jimmy Eat World" after the September 11 attacks) (2001) Futures (2004) Chase This Light (2007) References External links Official website Jimmy Eat World Twitter account Interscope Records profile ca:Jimmy Eat World cs:Jimmy Eat World da:Jimmy Eat World de:Jimmy Eat World es:Jimmy Eat World fr:Jimmy Eat World it:Jimmy Eat World ka:ჯიმი ით ვორლდი lv:Jimmy Eat World lt:Jimmy Eat World hu:Jimmy Eat World nah:Jimmy Eat World nl:Jimmy Eat World ja:ジミー・イート・ワールド pl:Jimmy Eat World pt:Jimmy Eat World ru:Jimmy Eat World simple:Jimmy Eat World sk:Jimmy Eat World sr:Jimmy Eat World fi:Jimmy Eat World sv:Jimmy Eat World
