Jimmy Eat World Share Acoustic Version Of 'Something Loud'

Arizona rockers Jimmy Eat World recently released an intimate acoustic-driven version of their current hit song "Something Loud."

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

"Something Loud" was released on June 10, 2022 as the band's first independent single on their label, Exotic Location.

The alternative rock band are currently on the road with their Something Loud Tour. The tour kicked off on September 8 at Rock Hall Live in Cleveland, Ohio, and concludes with a performance at the When We Were Young festival in Las Vegas on October 29.

The band is also working on their new album, which is being produced by the band along with Justin Meldel-Johnson.

Jimmy Eat World released their 10th and most recent album, Surviving, in 2019.

Godsmack Return With Brooding New Single 'Surrender'

American rock band Godsmack have returned with a brand new single, "Surrender," via BMG.

The track marks the first music from the band in four years, following their gold-certified 2018 album When Legends Rise.

"'Surrender' is a very cut-and-dry song," says frontman Sully Erna. "It's simply about the exhaustion we can all feel in relationships at times from the redundancy of fighting with each other. At a certain point in our lives, we submit to putting aside who's right or wrong, we just want it to STOP! So we wave the white flag."

"Surrender" is the first preview of the band's upcoming eighth studio album, which does not yet have a title or official release date.

"'I'm done wasting time / I'm so sick of your lies / And every time you seem to change your mind / Manipulate - So quick to hate / A true master of your art you demonstrate," the lyrics go.
