Jimmy Eat World - Surviving (October 18, 2019) Album • Page 62

It kills me,cuz the sample I found cuts out at THE WORST part. Can't wait to hear the whole song. And album.

 

This has me curious/excited!

 

So just incase... Davey Havoc of AFI has vocals on congratulations, which isn’t your typical closer from the band... very heavy apparently

 

Me too. I just wish I had the will power.

 

Interesting. How did you learn about this?

 

As long as it delivers on the band's ability to deliver another gem for an album closer...that's the only "typical" I ask for.

 

Normally I cave, but with only 8 tracks left to listen to, I've been motivated to avoid anything until release this time around.

 

Alternative press

 

Yep I completely agree

 

Jimmy Eat World singer Jim Adkins talks ‘Surviving:’ “I can just be me now”

I’m extremely online and like to think I keep myself fairly up to date on allegations of abuse and honesty I’ve never even heard of Chris Hardwick. Obviously not saying what minty originally said was okay at all, but c’mon here it’s not far fetched to believe that JEW doesn’t know anything about the allegations.

 

i really don't want to keep fueling this debate, but bands and labels have publicists, publicists know about shit. there's so little room for me to believe they had NO idea. i don't necessarily go as far as to say they "co-sign" his behavior, but i don't think they can play dumb and say they had no idea.

 

Yo kids - jimmy ain’t gonna be on radio. Radio sucks. Jimmy don’t. Long live jimmy.

 

I hear Jimmy Eat World on our alternative station here in SLC a lot.

EDIT: I don't listen to the radio a lot or anything, but when I'm swapping out CDs and whatnot, sometimes I'll hear JEW on there.

 

When I lived in LA, KROQ played them a lot, but I don't think I ever heard a single past 2004

 

i miss when long island had their alt rock station, but the introduction of bluetooth in my car has all but destroyed any chance of me listening to the radio ever again lol

my wife has sirius though and that Alt Nation station is pretty decent

 

To prep for the new album this weekend, I'm listening to Integrity Blues right now for the first time in probably a year... haha. Time flies, guys.

 

They definitely haven’t been a NE mainstay in radio since that silly lil ditty the middle lol

 

i bumped integrity blues this weekend for the first time in a while and it was, as anticipated, a great time

 

This band has so many great b-sides. Why don't they have a recent b-sides compilation??? If they did, what would be the perfect b-sides track list?

 

Hell yes that's awesome!

 

I've spent a while talking to the publicist handling press for this album, same director of publicity at RCA I've worked with for a while on different albums, and she's been there 11 years ... I'd be willing to bet a good amount of money she has no idea who Chris Hardwick is beyond it being a popular podcast. (We couldn't find a time that worked to do Encore, but she helped schedule Zach and Craig talking for 15 minutes.) I've said it before, but I can't even keep track of who/what has happened with bands/labels/celebrities/etc. these days ... by and large, publicists look at numbers and how to put their bands in front of the biggest ones that have similar demos to who they think will like the music.

I think it's easy and good to educate those that don't know about the allegations against someone like Chris, so the band, those reading here, and hopefully in the future the publicists (who I did send an email to this morning), know not to book people or listen to the show. That's actually a helpful thing to do. Hours of getting mad at people here probably isn't.

 

Well said!

 

You would know better than anyone else about this, I trust you on it. Thanks for putting this out there and for reaching out to their publicist. That's way more likely to get seen than anything I do. Appreciate it.

 

Thiiiiiiiiisss.
