About this product
Born in Aldershot on 11 September 1947, Bob Catley moved with his family to Birmingham, where he attended Central Grammar School for Boys before leaving to begin an apprenticeship at the GPO and later pursuing music after meeting like-minded students at college. He played in several early bands before joining The Capitol Systems, later renamed Paradox, who recorded several tracks for Mercury Records after attracting the attention of Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt, toured Europe, and split in 1970. In 1972 Catley co-founded Magnum with guitarist Tony Clarkin, becoming the house band at Birmingham's Rum Runner and developing their signature style through live residencies, leading to early success with the album Chase the Dragon (1982). The band achieved major commercial success in the mid-to-late 1980s with albums including On a Storyteller's Night, Vigilante, Wings of Heaven, and Goodnight L.A., before losing major tag support and eventually disbanding in the mid-1990s. After a brief period with Hard Rain, Catley launched a highly successful solo career beginning with The Tower, written by Gary Hughes, followed by Legends, both praised for capturing the classic Magnum sound, supported by notable live performances and releases that remain essential listening for fans of melodic rock.

Limited vinyl LP pressing of this 2001 album from the Arizona-based emo rock band. Jimmy Eat World exemplify all that is the modern radio rock sound. Singing and playing with a conviction and sincerity that will melt the heart of even the most stoic of listeners, they produce rousing, well-crafted anthems along the lines of Third Eye Blind at their roughest or a more polished Green Day. These guys appear to be able to write ready-made singles at the drop of a hat, as evidenced by InchYour HouseInch as well as the title track. In fact, there is a rather shocking maturity to their material that belies the band members' ages (all in their 20s). Overall, Jimmy Eat World give the people what they want with Bleed American.
