Jimmy Eat World is a rock band formed in Mesa, Arizona, in 1993. the base of this group was formed by the two friends Jim and Zach who are guitarist and drummer respectively. During the early times they adopted punk rock style and Linton was the leading singer of the group. Just after couple of years the band released three tracks and a full length volume under the banner of a local music production house “Wooden blue records”. The name of the group was formed after an incidental drawing draw by the younger brothers of Jimmy, in this drawing they show the earth in Jimmy mouth and the title of this painting was “Jimmy Eat World”.

In 1995, the band signed a contract with the leading USA recording company Capitol Records. The band was rejoined again in 1998 and records its follow up titled clarity. They completed their album in the mid of the year but did not get proper response because their music was out of favor and Capitol Records canceled the contract with Jimmy. The band decided to release their next album without any support. To keep the cost down they signed with Trombino, who agreed to sponsor the band.
