You're Not Punk and I'm Telling Everyone: The Jawbreaker Story
The early 90s was a boom time for getting rich off Alternative Rock. Due to the breakout commercial success of REM, Nirvana and Green Day, major labels grabbed any band that could approximate their sounds in the hopes of them becoming the next big thing. If there was one band that felt primed to succeed in this landscape it was Jawbreaker.
Formed in New York before transplanting themselves to California, they blended Husker Du, Psychedelic Furs and The Jesus Lizard, infused with ultra-literate lyrics that spat frustration, dissatisfaction and heartbreak. But when it was their chance to cash-in on the alt rock gold-rush, Jawbreaker lost everything. Not punk and punk in equal measures, this is the story of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy and how Jawbreaker sold out.
