On this week's episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World.
Earlier this year, Jimmy Eat World unveiled the 25th anniversary tour of Bleed American — a landmark album that wrapped their sophisticated, heartfelt storytelling in giant hooks and polished production.
Before their headlining run kicks off next week, the frontman stopped by the Artist Friendly studio to discuss the right way to finish a song, growing up in the ’90s, and their ability to fit anywhere.
“I don’t know how, but we’ve definitely done tours where it’s like nine ska bands and us or eight hardcore bands and us,” Adkins tells Madden. “Somehow we don’t get chased out of the room.”
