Jimmy Eat World is an alternative rock band. They formed in Mesa, Arizona in 1994. To date, they have released nine studio albums. They have released many singles, including Sweetness, The Middle, Bleed American, Rockstar, and Let It Happen.
They used to be part of the emo scene and many would still call them that. However, the band has never liked that term and do not even understand that. While their albums do have considerable emo influences, the album Futures brought on a change of sound and a different fanbase.
