Insound Staff Pick - 2008! Canadian copies of the long out-of-print US title. Jawbreaker's major label debut "Dear You" arrived at just the wrong time. In between "Bivouac" and "Dear You," punk-pop overtook the charts and grunge faded away. Since the band specializes in both punk-pop and grunge, "Dear You" initially came off as slightly calculated, trying to cash in on current trends. Since their sound is a hybrid of Nirvana and Green Day, it's easy to see how the criticisms took hold. Jawbreaker isn't as melodic as either group, although they make up for it by sheer power.
