Jimmy Eat World Share Acoustic Version Of 'Something Loud'

Arizona rockers Jimmy Eat World recently released an intimate acoustic-driven version of their current hit song "Something Loud."

"We thought it would be fun to make a stripped-down, alt version of 'Something Loud' along with some kind of video element," says Jim Adkins. "As we recorded parts, we filmed it. So what you're watching is what you're hearing."

"Something Loud" was released on June 10, 2022 as the band's first independent single on their label, Exotic Location.

The alternative rock band are currently on the road with their Something Loud Tour. The tour kicked off on September 8 at Rock Hall Live in Cleveland, Ohio, and concludes with a performance at the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas on October 29.

The band is also working on their new album, which is being produced by the band along with Justin Meldel-Johnson.
