  • Jawbreaker is an American punk rock band active from 1986 to 1996, and again since 2017. The band is considered to be extremely influential to the 1990s emo and punk genre with their "poetic take on hardcore," as cited by James Monger of AllMusic. Lead vocalist and guitarist Blake Schwarzenbach, bassist Chris Bauermeister, and drummer Adam Pfahler formed the band while students at New York University, later relocating to Los Angeles where they released their debut album Unfun (1990) through independent record label Shredder Records. Relocating again to San Francisco the next year, they released 1992's Bivouac through the Tupelo Recording Company and The Communion Label. Schwarzenbach's charisma and personal, frustrated lyrics helped establish him as a cult idol, even as he underwent surgery to remove painful, voice-threatening polyps from his throat. Jawbreaker toured with Nirvana in 1993 and released 24 Hour Revenge Therapy in 1994, attracting the attention of major labels. They signed a $1 million contract with DGC Records and released 1995's Dear You, but its more polished production and smooth vocals caused significant backlash from the band's core audience. Internal tensions led to Jawbreaker's dissolution in 1996 and Schwarzenbach had repeatedly stated that a reunion would never happen. However, the band announced a reunion in April 2017, and they are currently in the process of making the follow-up to Dear You. Following the breakup, the members of Jawbreaker were active in other projects including Jets to Brazil and Whysall Lane. Pfahler continued to issue previously-recorded Jawbreaker material through his Blackball Records label, and public interest in the band continued due in part to nationally charting pop-punk and emo acts openly indebted to Jawbreaker's sound. In 2004, Pfahler licensed the out-of-print Dear You from DGC's parent company Geffen Records and re-released it to positive reviews. Remastered versions of the rest of the band's catalog have since been released. (en)

  • Jawbreaker est un groupe de punk rock et emo américain, originaire de New York. Par la suite basé à San Francisco, il est formé par Blake Schwarzenbach, Adam Pfahler et Chris Baumeister en 1988. Une de ses marques de fabrique était la voix de Blake Schwarzenbach, à l'origine plutôt rauque, devenue beaucoup plus claire après qu'il eut subi une opération des cordes vocales en 1992 pour en retirer des polypes. Jawbreaker demeure reconnu pour les structures complexes de ses chansons, superposées aux éléments plus classiques issus du punk que sont la prédominance de la guitare et de la batterie. Jawbreaker est également souvent cité comme un précurseur et un groupe jalon dans l'histoire du pop punk ou de l'emo, en raison du côté hybride de sa musique, des paroles écrites par Schwarzenbach et de son influence très importante sur des groupes nés dans la seconde moitié des années 1990. Le groupe se sépare en 1996 après quatre albums, mais ils jouissent toujours d'un grand prestige au sein des scènes punk et indie, en particulier grâce au charisme et au talent de compositeur de Blake qui a ensuite fondé Jets to Brazil en 1998.

  • We were beat to shit. We broke up at the end of the tour because, well, why wouldn't we? We were driving around in Chris' van, with a pleather couch sliding around in the back, with no air conditioner in the summer. By the end, we were pretty much at each other's throats. So it was like, "Fuck this, let's call it quits. This is insane." (en)
  • I have said this many times before: I physically don't feel capable of doing it. I don't think I could sing those songs and I think it would be a disservice to the memory of the band to try to do that. I don't gloat about being in that position, either. It's not like, "Oh, I get to take the moral high ground." In fact, I'm sad about that. (en)
  • [Schwarzenbach's] appeal was his publicly private torment. There was a bitterness and frustration in his lyrics that was both universal and magnetic. Schwarzenbach was the poet laureate of scruffy white male angst and, by couching his thoughts in his own inscrutable metaphors, he set a pattern for bands that would follow for the next decade. (en)
