Live music: Jimmy Eat World, Olympia, Dublin

In this part of the world ‘punk’ is a byword for underdog aggression — for the filth and fury.

In America, however, it has historically connoted fizzy, day-glo guitar-pop. Among the foremost exponents of the genre are Mesa, Arizona’s Jimmy Eat World, whose catchy, primary colour anthems blazed a trail for bigger bands such as Green Day and Blink 182.
