So, exactly ten days from today, I will be interviewing this little up and coming band named Jimmy Eat World. Perhaps you have heard of them? Leave some questions you'd like to see asked in the replies, and I will choose the best ones to ask the band - you know how I do it.

Maria Taylor of Azure Ray fame will support Jimmy Eat World on their forthcoming, summer tour.

The journal on Mae's website is suggesting one of two things: they're going to be touring with Jimmy Eat World, or they really want to.

Zach provided an update on Jimmy Eat World's upcoming summer tour and what you can expect for the shows.

Update

hey everyone, thanks for the interest in the upcoming dates. we can't wait to get out there and play some proper, headlining shows for you guys. there are a few questions as to what these upcoming dates will be like and I'd like to clarify a little bit so everyone knows what's up. these summer U.S. dates are going to be different than the shows we've played in the past. these shows will include mostly acoustic and mellow material from our past 5 albums and also some rarities. the material won't be exclusively acoustic, but it also won't be full on rock. we wanted to do a short...

Below is an update Jimmy Eat World provided a couple days ago regarding the recording of their new album and follow-up to Futures.

Update

We have a mix date set for May 28th. Yes, there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. We just spent a week in Los Angeles tweaking out a few songs and stalking Tony from Sparta (we know what Starbucks you go to now, homz). We re-cut drums and bass for a song called "Here It Goes" with producer John Fields. We will be working on art and getting all our new stage costumes together soon. How does human-size banana suits sound? People would definitely ask us less questions about emo then.

According to a recent fan show review, Jimmy Eat World's new album is tentatively titled Chase This Light, and is slated for release in September.

Protest The Hero has just launched a new website and myspace layout. The band will be playing this years PunkSprings Festival in Tokyo, Japan late in March alongside Nofx, Jimmy Eat World and more.

Despite what was said in Alternative Press' "Most Anticipated of 2007" issue, Jimmy Eat World's new album will not be coming out in February. However, the band is just finishing up a few things and are almost done recording the follow-up to 2004's Futures. Rumor has it a tenative title for the release is Chase This Light.

You thought artist development was just for label weasels? You're wrong. Loren Israel has been doing it for years. He started out at Capitol and went on to discover and develop the likes of Jimmy Eat World, Less Than Jake, Plain White T's, and Rock Kills Kid, among many others. Luke Wood (AFI, Brand New, All American Rejects) seems to like what Loren has done - He just signed upstarts Midnight Hour to Interscope records. Check out Loren's "Band Boot Camp" on MySpace and learn the ropes of the industry. Watch the video and listen to testimonials - Loren is the real deal.
