{"title":"Jawbreaker","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAbout Jawbreaker\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eJawbreaker formed in New York City in 1986 around Blake Schwarzenbach, Chris Bauermeister, and Adam Pfahler. The trio relocated to the Bay Area in 1989. After three landmark independent albums on Shredder\/Tupelo and Communion, they signed with DGC for Dear You (1995) - a major-label move that was controversial in the broader punk community at the time. The band dissolved in 1996 in the wake of Dear You's commercial disappointment. They reunited in 2017 and have toured periodically since. Their work has been widely cited as one of the foundational templates for second-wave emo, with influence on Get Up Kids, Saves the Day, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New, and dozens of other emo and pop punk acts. Blake Schwarzenbach went on to form Jets to Brazil. The 2017 documentary Don't Break Down: A Film About Jawbreaker explored their history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSound and style\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eJawbreaker's sound combines emo, punk rock, post-hardcore, indie rock, and pop punk with Schwarzenbach's distinctive raspy vocal delivery and lyrical content drawing on poetry, literature, and confessional personal narrative. Their work bridges classic 1980s American hardcore with the emerging emo and pop punk movements of the 1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eDiscography highlights\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnfun (1990, Shredder)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBivouac (1992, Tupelo\/Communion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e24 Hour Revenge Therapy (1994, Tupelo\/Communion)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDear You (1995, DGC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFor collectors\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMultiple anniversary editions of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy and Dear You have been released, including the deluxe expanded editions through Blackball Records (Pfahler's reissue label) and Blackball reissues across the catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere to start\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eListeners new to Jawbreaker typically start with 24 Hour Revenge Therapy (1994) or Dear You (1995). \u003cspan class=\"related-collections\"\u003eExplore more: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/punk-new-wave-vinyl-records\"\u003ePunk \u0026amp; New Wave\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"jawbreaker-unfun-vinyl","title":"Unfun LP","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwelve groundbreaking tracks that captured the very inception of emo's big band and launched a galaxy of young, earnest bands and the scenes that love them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wax Trax Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48540834529463,"sku":"210000039051","price":26.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0745\/5755\/4871\/files\/1616609.jpg?v=1781154431"},{"product_id":"jawbreaker-24-hour-revenge-therapy-vinyl","title":"24 Hour Revenge Therapy LP","description":"\u003cp\u003e24 HOUR REVENGE THERAPY was Jawbreaker's third album.
