Sep 28 Jimmy Eat World Release Acoustic Version of "Something Loud"

Jimmy Eat World has unveiled an acoustic reimagining of one of their most recent singles, “Something Loud”. The track follows the release of their 2019 album, Surviving. In a press release announcing the acoustic version of the track, along with the accompanying music video, vocalist/guitarist Jim Adkins stated the following:

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

The band filmed the entire video in one day at their studio in Tempe, Arizona, bringing the track to life with large-scale instrumentation while simultaneously stripping the song down to the basics. Adkins continued:

“I recorded, mixed, filmed and edited the thing — took about a week all-in. A lot of it was hitting the spacebar to record, then running into the garage to play whatever was set up, while hitting record on my camera app on my phone to start the video recording.”

You can view the video for the acoustic version of “Something Loud” below. The band is currently on the road, with their tour set to resume tonight in Albany, NY. The band will also be a part of the highly anticipated When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas, which takes place on October 22nd, 23rd, and 29th.
