Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Silversun Pickups and Dashboard Confessional in one loud, nerdy, heart-on-sleeve mix. If you ever screamed along to an emo chorus in the car, this is home.
Weezing Jimmy Pickup Confessions is exactly what the name says: Weezer, Jimmy Eat World, Silversun Pickups and Dashboard Confessional, blended into one long love letter to late-90s and 2000s alt-rock and emo. Weezer leads the pack with 25 songs, from “Hash Pipe” and “Holiday” to “The Good Life,” while Jimmy Eat World brings 20 of its own, including “Hear You Me,” “Futures” and “Sweetness.”
Silversun Pickups add the fuzzy, swirling guitars on tracks like “Kissing Families,” and Dashboard Confessional supplies the heart-on-sleeve moments that made a generation of us scream along in the car. It’s 63 songs of crunchy riffs, nerdy hooks and choruses built for shouting, with the odd collaboration (Weezer and Best Coast on “Go Away”) to keep things fresh. If you ever owned a hoodie with a band patch on it, this one will feel like home. Crank it when you need energy without aggression, or when you just want to remember what it felt like to be nineteen and certain a song was written about you.
