If you are of a certain vintage, the regular online clamour from fans and stans desperate for success to fall in the laps of their indie favourites will likely have struck an odd chord with you. Haven’t they heard of selling out? “Am I so out of touch?” you muse to yourself. “No, it’s the children who are wrong.”
You think back to the good old days of the mid-1990s, when signing to a major label was verboten and you were entirely justified in wishing failure and ruin on any band who chose to go down that route. Bands such as Jawbreaker. Especially Jawbreaker. “You’re not punk and I’m telling everyone，”他们曾经唱歌 - 没有人开玩笑。
最重要，最有影响力的湾区朋克乐队之一，它们的出色，更干净，更具冒险精神的最终LPDear Youwas released by DGC in September 1995 and swallowed whole by the discourse surrounding it. “Dear You…最终在一些无名的二手商店的架子上陷入困境，以对他人造成半衰期的痛苦。”叉review in 2004, and that writer used to like the record back in the day. This shit lingered and mutated.
Jawbreaker folded soon after the album’s release, and their charismatic punk-poet guitarist and vocalist Blake Schwarzenbach binned the whole being-in-a-band thing for a while, moving east and settling in Brooklyn, where he met Handsome vocalist Jeremy Chatelain through his girlfriend. They didn’t know it at the time but they had plenty in common.
Hurt before
像Jawbreaker一样，英俊的人也被主要标签机咀嚼和吐口水。他们的唯一专辑是Helmet，Quicksand and Cro-mags的成员，他们的唯一专辑是声音的纪念碑，乐队将进一步了解公众意识：浓密，重，大气，大气，与情感直觉的吉他配对，他们的唯一专辑是一部纪念碑，这是一场头盔，Quicksand and Cro-mags的成员：人声。
Chatelain和Schwarzenbach开始从事新音乐工作，在得克萨斯州引入另一个受伤的音乐家是鼓手Chris Daly的原因，他自己的乐队在桌子上以一笔主要的唱片公司交易来到了坟墓。这些歌曲很快融合在一起，并经常故意超越边界。喷气机去巴西的first moves were part exorcism, part provocation, and people were desperate to hear them.
They recorded a demo early in 1998 and signed to Jade Tree before heading out on tour with Milwaukee emo heroes the Promise Ring. By the time they hit the studio to record an album proper, things were in place and humming along.
橙色押韵词典was assembled in the summer of 1998 at Easley McCain Recording in Memphis, Tennessee – previously home to indie-rock luminariesSonic Youth，，，，Guided by Voices，，，，威尔科and Pacer – with producer J Robbins, another punk who’d gone to the dark side by teaming with Atlantic to release Jawbox’sFor Your Own Special Sweetheart不过，他在1994年。他在乐队的忠诚中找到了某种方式。“他们减轻了我们的懈怠，”他在书中告诉Dan OzziSellout。“But Jawbreaker fans did not cut them that same slack.”
施瓦尔岑巴赫告诉朋克摇滚理论。“It was really a perfect arrangement – I can’t imagine that record happening anywhere else. The main room at Easley was so enchanting: lots of lamps, space and a piano. It just encouraged late-night experimentation as a space.”
现在是完全不同的东西
The first thing to note about橙色押韵词典is how quickly it makes the furore aroundDear You看起来很傻。那使您想吐在某人的嘴里/向他们扔啤酒瓶/禁止他们的场地？等待，直到您得到这一点。甚至Accident Prone，，，，that record’s six minute centrepiece, didn’t have all this going on.
“We all lived together during that week in Memphis,” Chatelain told朋克摇滚理论。“We charted the record out and discussed the parts in detail. J attended rehearsals and made suggestions. He played a few guitar parts and sang some harmony. There are a few very J Robbins vocal harmonies on the record. He has a sound that is all his own.
“In general, he made all of us feel comfortable during the process of tracking our first record. He does this thing where he puts his palm on his forehead and asks, ‘Are you married to that part?’ He’s great, very diplomatic about the process. He helped us feel good about the outcome.”
Openervalemploys snaking lead lines, octave riffs, playful wah and surging drops built around Schwarzenbach’s use of open strings. A left-handed player most commonly associated with a series ofLes Pauls以及JCM800，Schwarzenbach的细致风格与Robbins的off-kilter框架相融合，创造了一个多追踪的吉他格子latticework，仅被爆炸性增强早晨新疾病根据其作家的说法，“看起来像Ur-jets曲目”。
But there’s also an appreciation for space and pacing, something felt most keenly on the spare, affectingSea Anemone。With a guitar line only a step removed from alt-country, the song hangs in the air at the album’s midpoint, using only a few motifs across its five minutes and making the jumbles on either side feel all the more pointed, excited and bristling with ideas.
Jawbreaker reunion
According to Jade Tree boss Darren Walters,橙色押韵词典成为该标签最畅销的发行版。飞机到巴西随后将范佩尔特吉他手布莱恩·玛丽安斯基（Brian Maryansky）添加到了阵容中，允许施瓦顿巴赫更频繁地演奏钥匙，并定期进行巡回演出，而没有自我，就像其他任何朋克乐队一样，都出现在整个地方。
Their two later records, 2000’sFour Cornered Nightand 2002’sPerfecting Loneliness，进一步深入研究旋律，庄严的钥匙和摇滚炸弹。他们很可爱，但没有乐队的开幕词那么活跃。
Twenty years later, Jawbreaker have done the unthinkable and reformed, Chatelain has served time playing the heaviest of low ends in Helmet, and Jets to Brazil’s music can be viewed free from ties and expectations. They were a great band – different to some other great bands that came before and afterwards but great all the same.
