Jawbox

Jawbox is an American post-hardcore band formed in Washington, D.C., in 1989. Their music pairs punk-derived intensity with angular, melodic guitar interplay and tight, propulsive rhythms, blending abrasive textures and concise songcraft. Associated with the D.C. post-hardcore scene, they are often cited as part of the movement that connected underground hardcore sounds with broader alternative rock developments in the early 1990s.
