  DeSoto Records: Bands: Jawbox
Jawbox was a rock band that played a lot of shows, put out a lot of records, and spent more than its fair share of hours in a beige '88 Econoline named Giuseppe.
The band lived in a house in Silver Spring, MD, wrote all of its songs in the basement, and made records in Arlington, Baltimore, and Hoboken.
Jawbox started with three people in 1989, and ended with four in 1997.

  Jawbox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jawbox was a punk rock/indie rock/post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C. Its members were J.
Robbins had played in the final incarnation of Government Issue, which was the longest lived of the original D.C. hardcore bands.
Jawbox gained some notoriety in the indie music community by becoming one of only two bands to defect from legendary record label Dischord Records for a major label, when they signed to Atlantic Records for 1994's For Your Own Special Sweetheart (the other band was Shudder to Think).

Jawbox, for the most part, went its separate ways: J. Robbins and Bill Barbot formed a new band, Burning Airlines, with Robbins' former Government Issue bandmate, drummer Pete Moffett.
For a long time, Jawbox was her complete existence, consuming her free time and making all of her decisions for her.
She had been there since the beginning; when Jawbox folded, Robbins and Coletta were the only two original members of the band (Barbot joined in 1990; Barocas in 1992).

A somewhat glossy sheen pervades Jawbox, but the incessant touring gave way to a band capable of playing magically together in their sleep.

 TrouserPress.com :: Jawbox
Formed in 1989 by ex-Government Issue bassist J. (Jay) Robbins, Jawbox went a long way toward stretching the boundaries of the formulaic call-and-response thrash of the DC/Dischord sound.
Jawbox's decision to leave the insular and fiercely independent protectorate of Dischord for Atlantic Records raised quite a few eyebrows and suspicions in and around the highly principled DC punk scene.
Co-produced by John Agnello, Jawbox finds the group doggedly sticking to the same formula of melodic dissonance and off-kilter rhythms without appreciably expanding its musical vocabulary (or potential appeal).

In Jawbox's case, that would be a melodic touch and enigmatic lyrics.
Formed in 1989 by Robbins and bassist Kim Coletta (and now including guitarist Bill Barbot and drummer Zachary Barocas), Jawbox has moved out from behind the shadow of hometown favorites Fugazi and offered its own unique twist to the world and the human condition.
Jawbox's influences are too great to measure, Robbins said.

 Heckler Magazine #7 - Jawbox
Jawbox came to town July 27th to promote their latest release "For Your Own Special Sweetheart" which was released earlier this year on Atlantic Records, an affiliate of the mighty Warner Bros. conglomerate, WEA.
The weird thing is that it might seem that their fans would be happy for them now that they can focus on the band full-time, instead of having to rely on day-jobs for income, Jawbox has actually gotten a lot of shit for signing to Atlantic.
If more people in bands were as sincere as Jawbox are towards their music and their fans (unlike those pompous fucks in Afghan Whigs) the rock music world (Uh, I mean, ALTERNATIVE rock music world) would be a beautiful place, devoid of assholes and rock star attitudes (see this issues Evan Dando article).

Jawbox: No. Sweetheart was a very transitional record for us: Zach had recently joined the band, and we were still experimenting with different ways of writing songs, still exploring the different ways in which we all would best interact with one another.
Jawbox: Well, the first year after Sweetheart was released was spent touring, and unfortunately, we don't write well on the road.
Jawbox: E-mail has very much changed the way we interact with our fans (at least the ones who are on the Net) for the better.

Jawbox had been on a major for about a year-and-a-half at the time of the show.
This was sort of a last chance tour for Jawbox while it was supposed to launch Jawbreaker and their first single, "Fireman" into the stratosphere.
It is almost as if Jawbox dances with their instrument as they swing them all over the stage, take them low to the ground and bounce with them.

Jawbox were my favorite 90's band out of Washington DC (sorry, Fugazi, I'm sure you're crushed).
A combination of melody, noise, and power, Jawbox was the blueprint for 90's "post-punk".

Jawbox are musicians before performers which comes from their background in Washington D.C. which has grown up around the D.I.Y. ethic since it has never had an explosion where people came in looking for sound alike bands.
Jawbox has always been a band to let the fans choose what they like instead of choosing for the fans.
Jawbox is the kind of band that plays constantly but never quite seems to be allowed a full headline set and it's sad.

It wasn't that Robbins was ashamed of anything he or Jawbox had done in their eight years together or that he was ready to give up the rock just yet.
I've heard Jawbox comparisons from plenty of people, and it's cool in a way, because it's like finding out that people were really interested in Jawbox after all.
Jawbox broke up slowly over a period of a few months, dragging it out because no one wanted to let go, though they all knew in their hearts it was time.

However, Jawbox’s non-Louisvillian stature served to add a bigger sense of credibility to the other work that Slamdek was doing at the time.
She sent the Jawbox demo of eight songs they had recorded in their basement on a 4 track, along with some current Dischord stuff.
The Jawbox cassette on Slamdek was around for a little over a year, and sold 302 copies.

 Jawbox: My Scrapbook of Fatal Accidents: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Jawbox's sampler of oeuvre out-takes and compilation cuts, My Scrapbook Of Fatal Accidents, serves as a final reminder of D.C.'s duel- guitar heroes, and it bores a large machicolation high on Jawbox's pedestal from which the band drops a succession of awesome, rare cuts.
You'll be hard pressed to find three songs that rock with more lyrical rose- petals and sharp, hook- laden thorns than "Dreamless," "Static," and "Savory," the latter of which is easily one of the most jaw- dropping rock songs of the decade-- deceptively simple, simultaneously cacaphonous and ethereal.
The surprise gem, however, is "68," Jawbox's catchiest tune, loaded with a uplifting solo.

 REVIEW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Coletta, who runs the label that put out this album, is hardly far from the fold, and her split seems to be as amicable as they come.
And even Jawbox recorded with two different drummers during their eight-year career, so this is not exactly a drastic upheaval of personnel.
The album opens with "Carnival," "Wheaton Calling," and "Pacific 231," which are jaunty and bouncy where a lot of Jawbox's songs are bottom-heavy and thick, a change that might be directly attributable to Coletta's departure.

I Jawbox sono stati uno dei gruppi piu` originali di hardcore degli anni '90, capaci di rimettere in discussione tutti i dogmi del genere e in particolare della scuola di Washington.
I Jawbox vennero formati nel 1989 da Jay Robbins subito dopo lo scioglimento dei Government Issue, con Kim Coletta al basso.
The single Chinese Fork Tie (a vigorous rap/funk anthem propelled by superb syncopated drumming and dissonant guitar) is the prelude to the album Jawbox (Atlantic, 1996), a work that is formally impeccable but sounds a little cold compared to past efforts, and visibly comprimised with commercial music.

Alternately more melodic and at times far more chaotic and destructive than their previous efforts, the songs contained within still draw inspiration from DC hardcore and arty mathrock while funneling early punk rock and even a wide variety of indie rock.
Combined with a catchy, sometimes 80s-inspired, pop sensibility, the vocals are addictively melodic and dynamic, ranging from soft, smooth singing to the occasional emotional scream.

 REVIEW   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
But you might be Jawbox, the Washington, D.C. band that broke up in April of 1997 after eight years.
While essentially a collection of castaways, this is actually a fair representation of Jawbox's career and could serve equally well as a fitting farewell to fans or as an introduction to the uninitiated.
And come to think of it, bassist Kim Colletta was not really any sort of secret weapon the way Kim Deal was, though it must be said that many of the stronger Jawbox songs were built around her gutteral bass lines.

 Tiny Mix Tapes
Though their discography is sparse, Jawbox is a highly influential band.
While the greatness of that album is nothing to diminish, I think this one is infinitely better.
I suppose I like Ride The Fader a little more, since it covers greater sonic territory, but they both have an authoritative, inventive harmonic thrust to them that is sorely lacking on the releases of a great deal of their peers.

 Burning Airlines, Mission: Control!, Jawbox, My Scrapbook Of Fatal Accidents - PopMatters Music Review
Formed by former members of Jawbox and Government Issue, Burning Airlines packs a serious one-two punch with a set of tense, rocking songs possessing an undeniable tunefulness.
If the new Burning Airlines disc isn't enough to satiate your Jawbox craving, the seminal D.C. band has put together a retrospective scrapbook of sorts, with a treasure trove of B-sides spanning the duration of the band's eight-year career.
While it's true B-sides compilations can often be a dodgy proposition, Jawbox is something of a throwback to bands like the Small Faces and the Smiths, who consistently wrote great material and gave their fans value for money.

As guitarist Bill Barbot already pointed out in the interview we had with him, this is the album that best expresses what Jawbox stands for these days.
Jawbox just has to be the album of the big breakthrough.
Just listen to songs like His Only Trade, Chinese Fork Tie (which was the B-side of their last single), Won't Come Off (Jawbox's own techno song) or Epire of One.
