The American rock band Jimmy Eat World released this week their 8th album with the name Damage. It is like a little present for their 20th anniversary and during their European tour they also stop on 22nd of June in the LMB. The album Damage was recorded in October 2012 with producer Alain Johannes (Mark Lanegan, Quenns of the Stone Age, Chris Cornell, No Doubt) in Los Angeles. Jimmy Eat World formed in 1993 and are one of the most important representatives of the genre “emo”. The band is composed of lead vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins, guitarist and backing vocalist Tom Linton, bassist Rick Burch and drummer Zach Lind.
“We used tape for the first time in a long time, as well as computer. I hate saying more raw, but it’s more raw and warm. We just set up all around Alain’s house. There were instruments in his bedroom and drums in his living room. Just noise all day long. There was less an emphasis on it being clean and perfect. There’s a lot of stuff that’s more about the performance than it sounding pristine. And I think it feels better for what the songs are.”, stated vocalist and guitarist Jim Adkins.
