<P> Jimmy Eat World formed in Mesa, Arizona in 1993 . Guitarist Jim Adkins and drummer Zach Lind, who had been friends since preschool, joined with guitarist Tom Linton and bass player Mitch Porter to try their hand at music . The band originally formed with a punk rock sound and first released a demo tape in 1993, followed by their first EP in 1994, entitled One, Two, Three, Four . Their debut self - titled album (1994) was released with Linton singing most of the lead vocals on the album . Within the span of a couple of years, the band recorded and released three singles and a full - length on local label Wooden Blue Records . </P> <P> During their formative period the band claimed as influences such pop - punk bands as Mr. T Experience, Radon, and Tempe's Horace Pinker . </P> <P> The band's name came from a crayon drawing made after an incident between Linton's younger brothers, Jim and Ed Linton, who fought frequently . Jim usually won, but Ed sought revenge by drawing a picture of Jim shoving the Earth into his mouth; the picture bore the caption "Jimmy eat world". </P> <P> Eventually, spurred by bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, the band began to experiment with slower tempos and more varied song structures . As they began writing songs and touring in the indie scene, the band encountered like - minded bands, such as Christie Front Drive, Sense Field, and Seven Storey Mountain, that were working on similar sounds . </P>
