Jawbox was born circa 1989, clawing their way from the primordial pond of DC's raucous, vibrant Dischord-driven underground to claim a seat of honor at the table of what eventually came to be called "post-harDCore." The racket raised by the four members was suitably loud, occasionally fast, and spirited enough live to move the punkers around the dance floor in something considerably less than a deco   [ read more ]

Essentially recorded after getting enough songs together to fill out a 12" chunk of vinyl, Grippe's achievement was obscured increasingly after each successive Jawbox LP. That doesn't prevent it from being an enjoyable, albeit introspectively brutal record. J. Robbins might address a "you" during "Paint Out the Light" and "Tools and Chrome," but a self-flagellating nature can be detected throughout. That's what initially separated the band from their post-hardcore peers; instead of railing ag   [ read more ]

Reissue! Novelty ushered in second guitarist and vocalist Bill Barbot, immediately bolstering Jawbox's might. Differing from the debut, the guitars are sharper and the riffs are more concise. Less straight-ahead, the record is also more dynamic, benefiting from more varied material. Novelty is transformed from a good record to a great one with the addition of the "Tongues" single. Full of dense swirls of swooping guitars, only to be ejected by a thick riff (the intro almost sounds like the Smiths' "   [ read more ]

In their eight-year existence, Jawbox released four studio albums of increasingly skillful post-punk, not necessarily carrying the torch of their Washington, D.C., elders (Minor Threat, Embrace, Rites of Spring), but instead building on the tradition of Chicago's thriving early-'80s scene (Big Black, Naked Raygun, Effigies). -All Music Guide

Even upon their arrival, Jawbox actually seemed like more of a Chicago band than a D.C. one, carrying the torch for bands like the then petering out Naked Raygun and the then-late Effigies and Breaking Circus. While the trio's occasional bash-bash-bash rhythms certainly sounded like their roots were firmly entrenched in the D.C. hardcore {punk} of the '80s, J. Robbins' guitar playing surely took cues from Raygun's John Haggerty more frequently than Minor Threat's Lyle Preslar. Lik   [ read more ]
