The 4 Guys Who Maxed Out Credit Cards

This week, we explore the improbable rise and chaotic breakthrough of Jimmy Eat World, the Arizona quartet that defined the 2000s emo-pop explosion. From being dropped by Capitol Records following the cult classic Clarity to funding their own masters on personal credit cards, we track the band’s gamble on the iconic album Bleed American. We examine the massive success of “The Middle,” the bizarre “underwear party” music video that took over MTV, and the controversy that saw their album title banned from radio following the events of September 11. We’ll also look at how Jim Adkins and company inadvertently launched a billion-dollar genre while remaining one of the most grounded bands in rock history.

Kind folks who want to support the channel – I’d rather you actually have something in return for it. Something killer. Something that puts you heads and shoulders above the rest. So I have this:
This VST plugin, The Stereo Sound Extractor, is BADASS -I coded it up from over 10 year’s hard research. It won awards. Now you can own it for the paltry sum of $29. Yup, I’m basically giving it away: https://burninguitfiddle.gumroad.com/l/rbiuu
