Show Notes
Jimmy Eat World are heading back to Australia, bringing with them one of the most celebrated alternative rock catalogues of the last three decades. Ahead of the tour, Matty caught up with frontman Jim Adkins to chat about what keeps the band's love affair with Australian audiences so strong, why songs like The Middle, Sweetness and Pain continue to resonate with fans old and new, and what people can expect when they hit the stage this time around. The conversation also touched on the enduring legacy of The Middle, including Prince's take on the iconic track, while also sharing his thoughts on Australia's music scene, the energy of local crowds, and why returning Down Under remains one of Jimmy Eat World's favourite stops on the touring calendar.
