Jimmy Eat World has set May 28th as a mix date for their sixth studio album. A full update from the band can be read below.

We have a mix date set for may 28th. yes, there is light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. we just spent a week in los angeles tweaking out a few songs and stalking tony from sparta (we know what starbucks you go to now, homz). we re-cut drums and bass for a song called “here it goes” with producer, John Fields. we will be working on art and getting all our new stage costumes together soon. how does human size banana suits sound? people would definitely ask us less questions about emo then.

Plus 44 Playing Blink 182 Songs On The Road

May 17, 2007 By Bryce Jacobson Leave a Comment

Plus 44 recently played “What’s My Age Again,” an old Blink 182 song, at a show and have decided to play more Blink 182 songs instead of keeping them dormant. A message from the band can be read below.

for the past year and a half we have been saying how +44 will never play blink-182 songs. in interviews, when people ask about it, we say it won’t happen, we think it’s lame, etc. last week we changed our minds. and tonight during our set we played what’s my age again. you see, travis and i LOVE our history with blink-182, and it seems a shame to let those songs sit dormant forever because of what happened two years ago. and that song is SO much fun to play. so why not? it was awesome to play that song live again. we’re having the time of our lives out here. see you at the shows.
