About
Jimmy Eat World in Concert
Jimmy Eat World started in 1993 as a punk trio formed by childhood friends Jim Adkins and Zach Lind. After years of hard work in the studio and on the road, the band settled on a poppier sound, hitting the spotlight in 2001 with breakthrough album Bleed American. The album included several successful singles including "The Middle," which reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became an MTV staple. After extensive touring in support of the album, the band returned to the studio for 2004's Futures, which peaked at No. 6 and earned the band another No. 1 single with "Pain." Chase This Light in 2007 and Invented in 2010 would achieve similar success, cementing the band's role as one of the most successful indie acts in the business.
In 2013, Jimmy Eat World celebrated 20 years of independently released records with Damage, their critically-acclaimed eighth studio album. At their live concerts, the band delivers a blast of non-stop energy and enthusiasm, delighting ticket buyers with heavy guitar riffs, boisterously precise drum solos, and three-part vocal harmonies anchored by the familiar croon of frontman Jim Adkins. 2013's Damage saw the band transition from teen-angst rock towards a more sophisticated sound, with lyrical content taking on a markedly more mature tone on singles like the album's title track and "I Will Steal You Back."

by 5ama on 2011-05-23Commodore Ballroom - Vancouverthe crowd was full of true fans that knew every word, the band poured their hearts out into their performance, and there was not one person there who was not jumping around going crazy for them. they were flawless as expected from a band who has been playing for over a decade.. I would definitely attend again if I had the chance.

Rating: 5 out of 5 Absolutely Love Jimmy Eat World
by Hobs on 2010-10-20Kool Haus - TorontoI have seen J.E.W three times now and each time they rock the house. They are consistantly on their game with sound quality and set list; making sure they hold onto true fans with old time favorites and generating overall excitement with their new album. I don't care how much older I am then the newer groupies each time, I'll still jump around to sweetness! Kick Ass!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Jimmy Eat World - Such a great band.
by musiclover24 on 2010-10-19Kool Haus - TorontoAmazing show - a band with so much talent and genuine appreciation for their fans. They sounded amazing and played songs from all albums, not just the newest one. The venue was smaller which made for a more intimate performance. Overall you could tell the band gave it their all (despite playing four shows before this one plus doing a radio show the next morning). I would definitely recommend seeing them!
Rating: 5 out of 5 Fantastic Show!
by jcum on 2010-10-19Kool Haus - TorontoFirst of all, We Were Promised Jetpacks were incredible! They really got the crowd moving and warmed up with their set. The mix of rock with a hint of celtic-esque vocals was great to listen to! Highly recommend them. As for Jimmy Eat World, they played a great variety of old and new upbeat songs that couldn't possibly disappoint. Great show!

Rating: 5 out of 5 Great show
by mcheater on 2010-10-19Kool Haus - TorontoThe show was fantastic - we were in teh back right corner of the venue - in the raised bar area, and could see everything.
Rating: 3 out of 5by Jon1234 on 2010-10-19Kool Haus - Toronto The show wasn't bad in itself although it was nothing spectacular. The venue sucked. Sound quality was not very good. If it was about 1/2 the price I would've been more satisfied but the ~$45 or so per ticket for a show that was worse than a ~$20 local band was slightly disappointing.
Rating: 4 out of 5 Jimmy was Great!
by jsblues on 2010-10-19Kool Haus - TorontoThis is my favourite band, so I would honestly see them anywhere, however, I am not a fan of the Kool Haus.. Jimmy played great, almost as good as listening to the albums, maybe even better sometimes! I wish they would come around more often..
