Jimmy Eat World — американская альт-рок-группа из города Меса (штат Аризона), наиболее известная благодаря своей песне «The Middle» из альбома Bleed American. Основана в 1993 году. Группа состоит из вокалиста и гитариста Джима Эдкинса, гитариста и бэк-вокалиста Тома Лайнтона, бас-гитариста Рика Берча и барабанщика Зака Лайнда.
Группа выпустила шесть альбомов за девятнадцать лет существования. Первой записью стала демо-кассета, за которым последовал их первый мини-альбом, названный «One, Two, Three, Four».

Группа была основана в городе Меса, штат Аризона в 1993 году. Певец и гитарист Джим Эдкинс и барабанщик Зак Линд, друзья ещё с детского сада, объединили свои усилия с гитаристом Томом Линтоном и басистом Митчем Портером, чтобы делать музыку своими руками. Первые годы группа подражала панк-рок стилю своих кумиров, записав и выпустив три сингла и один полноценный альбом на местном лейбле Wooden Blue Records.
Название Jimmy Eat World не имеет отношения к лидеру группы Джиму Эдкинсу. Младшие братья Тома Линтона, Эд и Джимми, постоянно дрались в детстве. Джимми, который был сильнее и тяжелее, обычно побеждал. Эд в возрасте 8 лет в качестве мести брату нарисовал мелками картину Джимми, запихивающего в рот целый мир с заголовком «Джимми ест мир». Также название группы могло быть вдохновлено эпизодом из мультфильма Tiny Toon Adventures. В эпизоде «Dizzy Eat World» был пятисекундный отрывок, в котором цветными мелками грубо нарисована картина, на которой зияющая утроба Диззи поглотила всю Землю. Также первые буквы названия образуют слово «jew» — «еврей».
В конечном счете, вдохновленные успехом таких групп, как Fugazi и Sunny Day Real Estate, команда начала экспериментировать с поджанром хардкор-панка под названием эмокор. Поскольку они начали записывать песни на маленьких независимых студиях и выступать на небольших сценах, они были очень удивлены встретить так много одинаково мыслящих групп, таких как Christie Front Drive, Sense Field, и Seven Storey Mountain, исполняющих похожую музыку.
Группа продолжала выступать и вскоре они начали привлекать внимание небольших подпольных студий. В 1995 году Гэри Герш, президент лейбла (и бывший промоутер Nirvana) подписал группу на лейбл Capitol Records. Примерно в это же время, басист Митч Портер расстался с группой и был заменен другом Линтона Риком Берчом. После небольшого прослушивания у продюсеров, к группе присоединился барабанщик группы Drive Like Jehu Марк Тромбино для записи их дебютного альбома Static Prevails. Этот альбом прекрасно показал, что из себя представлял эмокор на тот момент: баланс между заимствованными из панка долгими криками и тихими созерцательными моментами.

Clarity is the third studio album by American rock band Jimmy Eat World, released on February 23, 1999 through Capitol Records.[1] Overlooked upon its release, Clarity has since amassed cult status and critical acclaim, often lauded as one of the best records of the 1990s. Praise centered on its dynamic instrumentation, as well as the heartfelt delivery of singer-guitarist-lyricist Jim Adkins. Various music critics have credited the album for serving as a huge influence on modern-day emo music. However, despite critical praise and promotion of the single "Lucky Denver Mint" in the Drew Barrymore comedy film Never Been Kissed, Clarity was commercially unsuccessful in a musical climate dominated by teen pop, and the band was dropped from Capitol Records the following year.
Ironically, it was Clarity’s initial failure that put Jimmy Eat World on the path to their eventual success. After being dropped by Capitol, the band used this time to undertake extensive touring which allowed them to self-fund recording sessions for their eventual mainstream breakthrough, Bleed American (2001).The album was remastered and re-released in 2007, featuring additional bonus tracks. Two years later, the band released Clarity Live (2009), recorded during its commemorative tenth anniversary tour.

Bleed American is the fourth studio album by American alternative rock band Jimmy Eat World. The album was released on July 18, 2001. The album was the third Jimmy Eat World album produced by former Drive Like Jehu drummer Mark Trombino. The album artwork is taken from William Eggleston's photograph "Memphis".
Out of concern that the album's title may be misinterpreted, the album was re-released as the eponymous (Jimmy Eat World) following the September 11 attacks. In addition, the title track was renamed "Salt Sweat Sugar".
On April 28, 2008, a deluxe edition of the album was released with a bonus disc containing several b-sides, acoustic versions, live versions, demo versions and previously unreleased tracks. The original album and track title Bleed American were restored.
The album was a critical and commercial success, helping the band gain mainstream popularity. Bleed American was well received by music critics and was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), platinum by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA), and silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI)
