Longtime fans of Jimmy Eat World have reason to celebrate as the Arizona rock quartet announces the pre-order for their new six-track collection, the Something(s) Loud EP. Due out on November 14, 2025, via the band's own Exotic Location Recordings, this release marks a significant moment for the band, who consider music truly "released" only when it's available on physical media.
The EP brings together several popular, previously digital-only singles, making their vinyl debut. This includes the punchy, guitar-driven track "Something Loud" and the atmospheric classic "Place Your Debts," which began in a writing session with Clark Baechle (The Faint) and Denver Dalley (Desaparecidos). Also making its way to wax is their cover of Crooked Fingers’ "Call to Love," featuring Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast.
Rounding out the collection are an acoustic take on "Something Loud" and a TW Walsh remix of "Place Your Debts." Crucially, the EP also features a never-before-released track, "Failure." Originally recorded during the 2019 Surviving album sessions, "Failure" was co-produced by Jimmy Eat World and Justin Meldal Johnsen, and engineered/mixed by Ken Andrews (co-founder of Failure). The song's lyrical arc inspired a homemade 90s-style skateboarding music video, reminiscent of the band's formative years.
Lead singer Jim Adkins noted that the decision to release these tracks came out of reconnecting with fans on the road post-pandemic. "Coming out of the pandemic, it didn’t feel right to tour without offering something more," he explained.
The Something(s) Loud EP is available for pre-order now, with standard vinyl and a limited number of signed copies exclusively available through the band's webstore. With the EP release finalized, fans should stay tuned to JimmyEatWorld.com for more big plans coming from the band in 2026!
