Episode 241: Jawbox

Dec 9, 2025
1h 6m

Episode Description

This week we're discussing every album by post-hardcore band Jawbox. Formed in Washington DC and opening up for bands like Fugazi, Jawbox--along with Shudder to Think--were one of the Dischord bands signed to a major label in the early 90s. Going back to all of their records today, it's safe to say Jawbox is one of the more criminally underrated bands of the 90s.
