Listen Later

On this episode of Tuna On Toast, Stryker interviews Jimmy Eat World singer Jim Adkins. In a career spanning more than 30 years, Jimmy Eat World has released 10 studio albums. Jim tells Stryker all about their early days in Mesa, Arizona, including some of their first shows. Jim also reveals how a side hustle acting as concert promoters helped Jimmy Eat World get discovered, and shares his appreciation for the help Blink 182 and Green Day gave his band. Stryker digs into Jimmy Eat World's many hits, including "The Middle" -- which Jim admitted he never expected to become a timeless track. How did a Playstation game impact the creation of "Get It Faster"? Why does Mark Hoppus send Jim a yearly text about "Let It Happen"? And what made "Hear You Me" a risky song to include on their 'Bleed American' album? Jim tells these stories and more. Plus, how does Jim Adkins really feel about being called "emo"?
