Along with bands such as Sunny Day Real Estate, The Promise Ring, The Wedding Present, and our own beloved weezer, the band is considered an early proponent of the development of a style of rock that is now commonly referred to as ''[[emo]]'' - although, by today's standards (much like weezer), they have little resemblance to the current emo scene. Early material by the band was quite raw and very much in the pop-punk/indie vein, but the band has evolved into a potent, pop-saturated rock unit, with well-written songs, tight harmonies, and of course, loud guitars whenever possible. | ||
Jimmy Eat World considers weezer both an influence and friends, having toured together on the 2001 Extended [[Midget Tour]]. They were early friends of [[Mykel and Carli Allan]] and wrote the song [["Hear You Me"]] as a tribute to the sisters. | Jimmy Eat World considers weezer both an influence and friends, having toured together on the 2001 Extended [[Midget Tour]].
