As teenagers, the members of rock group Jimmy Eat World signed their first record contract with a major label just a year after they started playing together. The group then changed its lineup before the release of its first album, Static Prevails, in 1996. Not long after the release of their sophomore effort, Jimmy Eat World was dropped from Capitol Records, and the members had to start from scratch. This time, with experience behind them, they approached their careers on their own terms and conquered the rock world with a voracious appetite.

Singer/guitarist Jim Adkins and drummer Zach Lind went to school together at Mountain View High School in Mesa, Arizona. Adkins, Lind, bassist Mitch Porter, and singer/guitarist Tom Linton played in local bands and eventually joined forces to form Jimmy Eat World in February of 1994. They came up with the name based on a picture drawn by Adkins’ brother after they had an argument as kids. The picture showed Adkins eating the world.

The RIAA-certified Bleed American platinum and Futures gold, rewarding the two albums for selling over 1.5 million records between them.
