Futures, their follow-up to BA, featured “Pain,” which also hit No. 1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. In October 2019, the band released their tenth album, the critically acclaimed Surviving, which became one of three “chapters” of their 2021 globally streamed series Phoenix Sessions along with Futures (Chapter V) and Clarity (Chapter III), performed in their entirety (available on YouTube here). Recently, they’ve released two independent singles, “Something Loud” and “Place Your Debts.” with the former charting 21 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay. Jimmy Eat World have played numerous late-night shows throughout their storied career, including The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and Saturday Night Live, and have joined epic festival lineups, from Lollapalooza and BottleRock to Summerfest and When We Were Young.
