Something Loud
"Something Loud" is a song by American rock band, Jimmy Eat World. It was released on June 10, 2022 as the band's first independent single on their label, Exotic Location. Background Having released their 2019 album, ''Surviving'', only a few months before the start of the COVID-19 Pandemic, the band members elected not to use their time in lockdown writing new music like many other artists did. Frontman Jim Adkins explained the emotional and physical drain from recently writing and releasing ''Surviving'' had put a lot of stress on him, and he felt he wasn't yet in the right mindset to be writing new music. As COVID restrictions began to reduce and live music returned, the band found themselves becoming more and more excited about playing shows again, which Adkins used as inspiration when he returned to more frequent songwriting. Ultimately, this excitement was what inspired the lyrics for "Something Loud", with Adkins and drummer Zach Lind discussing the When We Were Young mu ...

Pop Rock
Pop rock (also typeset as pop/rock) is a fusion genre with an emphasis on professional songwriting and recording craft, and less emphasis on attitude than rock music. Originating in the late 1950s as an alternative to normal rock and roll, early pop rock was influenced by the beat, arrangements, and original style of rock and roll (and sometimes doo-wop). It may be viewed as a distinct genre field rather than music that overlaps with pop and rock. The detractors of pop rock often deride it as a slick, commercial product and less authentic than rock music. Characteristics and etymology Much pop and rock music has been very similar in sound, instrumentation and even lyrical content. The terms "pop rock" and "power pop" have been used to describe more commercially successful music that uses elements from, or the form of, rock music. Writer Johan Fornas views pop/rock as "one single, continuous genre field", rather than distinct categories. To the authors Larry Starr and Chri ...
