Jimmy Eat World has announced that they will release Stay On My Side Tonight, a five song EP. The record is due out in digital formats on September 6th and on CD, October 4th. The disc will include three previously unreleased original songs, a Styrofoam-helmed remix of "Drugs or Me" from Futures and a cover of a Heatmiser track from their Mic City Songs LP.
According to the band:
showcases sides of the Jimmy Eat World musical spectrum decidedly different from the upbeat anthemics of Futures' "Pain" and "Work": "Disintegration" opens proceedings on a somber note and concludes with the haunting refrain that gives the EP its title. "Over" and "Closer" each pick up the pace incrementally, leading into a beautiful and reverent cover of Heatmiser's "Half Right." Stay On My Side Tonight concludes with a remix of "Drugs Or Me" in which the Futures track is chopped, screwed, deconstructed and reassembled by Styrofoam.
The band will be touring with Green Day this fall and following that, will begin working on the upcoming followup to Futures.
