Tours: Jimmy Eat World

Hailing from Mesa, Ariz., well known alternative rockers Jimmy Eat World announced a string of tour dates throughout Canada. Check them out below.

Jimmy Eat World continues to tour in support of their ninth full-length album Integrity Blues, released October 2016 via Dine Alone Records. Watch the video to their latest single, Sure and Certain, here.

After the band’s 10th anniversary tour at the end of 2014, they decided to separate to work on other projects and reconvened again in late 2015.

In regards to writing the band’s most recent album, lead singer and guitarist Jim Adkins said:

“I came to a realization. In the break, writing was a little trickier. I wanted to change things up. So, instead of writing about a problem, I wanted to write about a solution. If you look at your life for what’s going wrong, it won’t be too hard to find things. If you start looking at what you have rather than what you’re missing out on, you come away from things with a much different perspective that’s a lot more grateful and positive. As an album, Integrity Blues is about trying to overcome that personal struggle instead of getting upset with what life could be that it isn’t.”

Adkins concluded with a reflection:

“I’ve wanted to play music since second grade, and here I am playing music. It’s something we’re immensely grateful for. That’s why we don’t take it lightly. We want to be in a constant state of progress. You have to move forward in a way that’s challenging and evolving. At the end of the day, you have to be proud of your own work. We are. If you breathe that in and believe it, you’ve won.”
