Jimmy Eat World/Rozwell Kid

Everyone has that song that got them through the teenage years. Mine was Jimmy Eat World’s “The Middle,” an uplifting coming-of-age story meant to explain that the problems that seem earth-shattering at a young age are just little bumps at the start of a much longer winding road leading you to where you are meant to be. “Sweetness,” another track from 2001’s Bleed American, is harder than “The Middle” with heavy instrumentals and vocals that are less of a comfort and more of a yell. “Hear You Me” is a stripped down success from the same record, displaying the band’s versatility and reminding every '90s kid of their childhood (And “Another Cinderella Story” with Hillary Duff). On its latest record, 2016’s Integrity Blues, the band ditched its signature angsty sound from Bleed American and opts for a darker, soft rock feel. “Pretty Grids” is a whisper of a prophecy while “The End is Beautiful” sounds like the perfect slow dance for rock fans. “You with Me” is a good sample of the band’s new sound, with choral background vocals, acoustic guitar and a lead vocal that is more Goo Goo Dolls than Fall Out Boy.
