Jimmy Eat World
Comment:
When Jimmy Eat World got its "big break" (a contract with Capitol) in the early '90s, they simply wanted to be like Fugazi and Sunny Day Real Estate — indie acts with a tight-knit following and an inviting and innovative post-hardcore sound. Snagging Drive Like Jehu's drummer (Mark Trombino, who's also worked with blink-182) certainly helped at first, but no one could have predicted the major creative jumps the group has shown since the tattered and taut [i]Static Prevails[/i]. That goes for everything from the fan-favorite songs on [i]Clarity[/i] (a perfect experimental but poppy middle ground between the group's early days and recent work) to the monstrous, hard-to-top singles of its self-titled breakthrough. All of which exhibit a definitive "emocore" sound that'll have you rethinking just what that subgenre's capable of within minutes.
