Melt Banana, Jimmy Eat World November 2, 2007

Japanese noise rock band, Melt Banana, found more success in the United States and the United Kingdom than in its own country, gaining a small but dedicated fan base among American and European punk rock fans.

"The new monster in alternative" -- that is how Jimmy Eat World is being touted by record execs and audiences throughout the West, as this Phoenix, Arizona, based band of nineteen year olds pounds through their "90 gigs in 90 days Chihuahua Tour" to promote their new Capitol Records release, !Static Prevails'.
