Jimmy Eat World charms us with their sweetness as they tell us all about how they kept themselves rollin' for good ol' 17 years!
So, what's your first impression of Singapore?
Zack: I think we have been really impressed. We have never been here. It's really good to check it out. We had a really great time. It seems like, cool because it seems like an interception of a lot of different Asian cultures. It's sort of like in the US.
Has there ever been moments when you guys are falling apart, has there ever been any big fights or disagreements, since the band has been together for 17 years?
Zack: We get along very well. We have never had big fights or disagreement. We've had the same line up for the past 17 years and we get along really well. If we have disagreement it's usually on pretty small stuffs.
Rick: And it's always just, we all have the same, like, you know we all want the same things like when we're writing songs we all want the songs to be the best that they can be so if we have a disagreement it's only because we are really passionate about making you know about what we do.
Is it hard not to be cynical when it comes to the music industry since most of don’t really buy records anymore, and what do you feel about it?
Zack: We're not cynical about it. For us we just want to keep making good music. It's not necessarily dependant on big label giving us money to record. We can even record by ourselves very cheaply. We can't make you like our music. But I hope you do.
Paramore listed Jimmy Eat World as their influence. So what do you think about them?
Zack: We did a tour with them few years ago. They're really a good band. We feel like they're really talented and they're really good live.
What would you do to keep your energy up for your 1 whole year of touring?
Zack: I think it's just uh, we like to take a little bit time off from touring so we go on tour and we differ for 3 weeks and we come back and we take a break. But for us it's very exciting to travel.
Rick: It's like every night is different. We want to give the best for our fans. And tonight we're so excited we don't know what to expect we've never performed here so we're excited..
So were you guys ever under pressure to be as successful as in the America?
Zack: No we are not. Whatever pressure we have are all the pressures that come from ourselves you know to make the record that would be proud of. Every record is different. We try not worry about the outside influence while making a record.
Rick: It's kind of the control. We can’t control people by making them liking our music but hopefully you all do! All we want to do is make ourselves happy with our music and move on from there.
