Jimmy Eat World: New Album News- Guitarist Tom Linton To Sing Lead Vocals On New Track

According to a post on Jimmy Eat World’s website, guitarist Tom Linton has recorded lead vocals on a track that will appear on the band’s new album. Linton traded lead vocal duties with frontman Jim Adkins on some of the band’s older albums, including “Clarity” and “Static Prevails,” but has not sang lead on any tracks since 1999.

Responding to a thread called “Why doesn’t Tom sing anymore?,” Adkins wrote: “tom cut a main vocal for a new song. it will most likely be on the album, and not a b-side.”

JEW is working on the follow-up to 2007’s “Chase This Light.”
