	Jawbreaker (band) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jawbreaker's lyrics, largely scribed by Schwarzenbach, were imbued with a literary drunk's melancholy along the lines of early Charles Bukowski and late Anne Sexton and fused personal longing and love-sickness with an animistic fetishization of objects both public (boats and boxcars) and private (books and bottles).
		The band's cult status as the definitive nineties post-"emo" band has grown since its breakup, and songs such as "Kiss the Bottle" and "Jet Black" are referenced as influences by bands such as Sparta.
		Jawbreaker will long be remembered as one of the most influential bands of the nineties: incorporating indie ethic, literary sensibilities, and maturity with the hardcore punk sound of Dischord Records and SST Records.

		The band picked the new name Jawbreaker one night after seeing it written on a band-name brainstorming sheet, even though none of them thought they were the ones writing it down.
		Jawbreaker put out their first LP, Unfun, on Shredder Records in 1990; it was recorded in the first two months of the same year.
		The band shot a video for the song "Fireman," which was released as a single and became a radio hit.

		in an internet chatroom somewhere are several nerds discussing the idiosyncrasies between the version of jawbreaker's 'boxcar' on the old glory seven inch and the version that appeared on 24 hour revenge therapy.
		i don't think of myself as an 'artist'; i consider myself to be in a band, but we have a serious side which is reflected in the lyrics, and i don't see it in a lot of the hip, punker bands today.
		it's a real shame when bands that you have known for years and thought were your friends turn out to be nothing but a bunch of music industry back stabbers.

		jawbreaker has blown me away since i first saw them in 1990 (or it may have been 91), incredible music, words, and super nice guys to boot.

		Jawbreaker was a popular San Francisco punk rock band in the 1990s.
		Despite a vigorous marketing push, Jawbreaker's album sales were anemic in the wake of a post- Green Day market, and was one of the causes leading to the end of the band's career.
		The band's cult status as the definitive nineties post-" emo" band has grown since its breakup, and songs like "Kiss the Bottle" and "Jet Black" are referenced as influences by bands such as Sparta.

	Complete Jawbreaker Page: Band History
		Jawbreaker was contacted by Shredder, and the band contributed the song to a 7" vinyl compilation on the label entitled The World's in Shreds Vol.
		In August, the band returned to Anderson again to record a song for a compilation of Mission District bands; musically, the song "Kiss the Bottle" was simpler and poppier than the brooding songs of Bivouac, although no less gut-wrenching in the lyrical department.
		In late October, Jawbreaker made the controversial decision to play a few dates in the midwest with the popular rock group Nirvana; they were subsequently reviled by fans who despised what they perceived as the band's flirtations with corporate America, especially in light of Schwarzenbach's long-standing and outspoken opposition to major labels.

		Jawbreaker has managed to stick out amongst the mid-nineties pop-punk bands, despite their sell out move and the passage of time.
		Dear You represents a drastic sonic change for the band, with a much thicker, smoother sound and softer vocals that are sung rather than shouted—it is as though the band found a variety of new tools with their massive budget and didn’t know when to stop polishing their rough core.
		Jawbreaker is no longer quite the righteous martyr of a band screwed by the major label, because they have won.

	themusicedge.com :: Various Artists: A Tribute to Jawbreaker (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		As much as a tribute album to Jawbreaker is an understandable reaction to a band of this magnitude, some things are sacred and should be left to stand on their own.
		Although Jawbreaker is in fact a band responsible for bringing a unique sound and dynamic to a genre of music that is often marred by its simplicity and its musicians amorphous creativity, they are not impervious to being bastardized by the people who care about them the most; their peers.
		Most of the bands on this album take everything that was unique and dynamic about Jawbreaker's music, beat it with a mincing mallet, chew it up, spit it out, crap on it, brown and serve.

	LEFT OFF THE DIAL - Album Reviews - Jawbreaker Tribute: Bad Scene, Everyone's Fault
		One important fact about Jawbreaker is that they were the last band to sign to a major label in the pop-punk mania of the mid-1990's.
		Bands like the Ataris and Blink 182 don't really mind that they're essentially copies of copies of copies, etc. They'll accept their awards and politely thank their mindless 13- year-old fans for having mommy/daddy/Aunt Joyce pick their album up for them.
		One of their favorite bands undoubtedly is The Reunion Show, and one listen to this band's cover of "Unlisted Track" on this Tribute proves how easy it is for bands to sound exactly like Jawbreaker and get away with it.

	DECAPOLIS : Jawbreaker - Dear You (re-release)
		While Jawbreaker was holding on to its punk rock roots and refusing to sign to a major label; bands like Green Day, Nirvana, and The Offspring were getting all the attention.
		While some argue that this release showed a band that was dull and had lost its edge, I’ll argue that it shows the maturation of Schwarzenbach and company.
		Jawbreaker might have been better off taking cues from bands like Screeching Weasel and never going to a major label, but they chose to take the other path.

		Funny, because those who villified the band for their decision and their record soon scratched their heads and felt sad when Jawbreaker split.
		The politics of the band, and the relationship between fan and band and even between the band members would be enough to qualify it for a Punk Rock Behind the Music.
		Jawbreaker are now simply a part of the past, but this makes a case for their place in history.

		Jawbreaker had as much impact in the underground music scene as Nirvana did on the mainstream (the two even toured together).
		The song merrily attacks its mohawk mafia critics on "Indictment," where Schwarzenbach proclaims "It won't bother me, what the thoughtless are thinking." Oddly enough, the newer wave of pop-punk acts that failed to retain their underground credibility often cover "Boxcar," which unintentionally insults the music and its songwriter.
		But Jawbreaker's strength was always in their confessional love songs.

		Jawbreaker 1986 In his second year of college, after his first band Butcher Clyde broke up, bassist Chris Bauermeister pasted up an ad in a New York University dorm seeking a guitarist and drummer.
		"Jawbreaker" wasn't vehemently opposed or found to be too offensive, which is to say the name was born by a relatively uninspired process of elimination.
		Jawbreaker is one of the best bands to ever exist--no one has been able to hold a candle to the style and emotional dettachment u provided me thru many years of depression and angst.

	Black Board - Jawbreaker Reunion Holdup
		Regarding my naivety with bands, no dice there either, because yes, it is true that some groups have one person that writes all the songs, but it takes the talent and songwriting of all the members to make a song happen.
		Again, how many bands do you know of that write a song on guitar, then teach it to the bass player on bass, and teach it to the drummer on drums, and then they do what they were taught.
		Jawbreaker is still my favorite band of all time, but JTB was a great outfit.

		This is not to say that the songs included on the set are any less credible than the band's previously available materials; "Sister" and "Sea Foam Green" alone stand out as two of the trio's strongest tracks, and the remainder of the material is a must for fans and even casual rock aficionados.
		The band is made up of vocalist Jason Beebout, guitarist Sergie Loobkoff, guitarist James Brogan (a former member of Social Unrest), bassist Aaron Rubin and former Redd Kross drummer Victor Indrizzo, who also works with Masters of Reality.
		Pennywise was one of the key bands of the punk-revival of the '90s.

		I know you felt that buzz with Jawbreaker shows, you had to, it was so obvious seeing you.
		They are just seeing a brand new band, so it's hard, it's a little strange but there's not an album yet so you don't have a common ground with it.

		Thus, my only knowledge of the band, outside of listening to their records was what I had gleamed vicariously through other publications, including the stellar interview that Punk Planet ran earlier this year.
		JAWBREAKER contributed a live version of "Kiss the Bottle," to Vagrant's IN HONOR Cancer benefit compilation, and Adam Pfahler has been a huge booster of this release from the moment that he and Timmy began talking about a contribution.
		I don’t even really have to like the band or the way they did a song, but it was interesting hearing to hear people’s takes on it and there were some really good songs on there.

		You can hate a band, but whether they are overrated or not is based on the quality of songs for their genre, their ability to transcend said genre, and the influence they have had.
		For their genre, Jawbreaker wrote some of the best songs ever, they broke most, if not all, of the boundaries in that genre with Dear You, if not with their songwriting beforehand, and their influence, whether direct or indirect, on the modern punk scene is incalculable.
		Jawbreaker might have alot of fans on this little board, but only a minor percentage of rock music fans knows Jawbreaker, which is not fair at all.

		Continuing on the Jawbreaker tradition of poetic lyrics that provide a mental image to each song, the band deals with their endeavors through music instead...
		Listening to Jawbreaker is likely to get you thinking about countless other grunge/thrash pop bands, from Nirvana to Sugar to Helmet.
		Jawbreaker could be easily described as a pop-punk band with more of a dark side.

		As one of the few bands on the disc that were around when Jawbreaker was still active, they've chosen their offering wisely.

		Though the band had broken up years earlier, this album only seemed to be the final, anguishing nail in the coffin.
		Yes, yes it is. Though the band grew their roots on rougher ground with albums like "Unfun" and "Bivouac," they eventually polished up their sound after Schwarzenbach's throat surgery.
		When the band signed with DGC, their end was just about clear.

		In the band’s eight years of existence, they managed to build up a strong fanbase, record over five albums worth or material, alienate some of their diehard fans and, in the end, even alienate their record label.
		Still, the legend of Jawbreaker lived on, and fans eventually clamored to get their hands on “Dear You,” which was out of print within a few years and severely hard to track down.
		The melancholic lyrics are delivered with more emotion than any band today claiming to be “emo.” From beginning to end, the band seems tighter than you ever thought they could be: Schwarzenbach’s lullaby-like guitar parts throughout the verses and Bauermeister’s intentional and heavy bass lines combine with Pfaler’s understated drumming and gentle cymbal work.

		Jawbreaker, the latest graduate of the Gilman Street San Francisco punk club joins Green Day and Rancid in the big leagues with its major label debut "Dear You."
		Even though the record is more focused and a little less edgy than their three previous releases, in no way has Jawbreaker gone totally soft; maybe more mature, but not soft.
		While tracks like "Chemistry" show Jawbreaker in finest form, the band explores a slower and more focused side on others like "Jet Black" and "Basilica." Chock full of good music and intelligent songs, "Dear You" shows who got the brains on Gilman.

		The band’s DGC debut, Dear You, couldn’t sell enough to keep the band together and was until recently an out-of-print, cherished rarity.

		Jawbreaker’s take on punk rock, using the feedback-driven guitars and doubletime snare patterns with wandering guitar arrangments proved to be one of the most recognizable sounds of punk in the ’90s, though the band never succeeded in building anything outside of a cult following.
		Casting off the macho posturings of punk, replacing it with poetic, introspective lyrics, Jawbreaker built a bridge between the punk and emo scenes, with emo influences, though the band sits nearer to its punk roots than most emo bands.
