Jawbreaker – “24 Hour Revenge Therapy”

Description

One of the most popular and successful underground bands of the early/mid-’90s, California’s JAWBREAKER melded raw vocals, a driving rhythm section and grinding guitar with complex song structures and literary lyrics, forging a distinctive style that has since influenced a generation of independent music. By the end of 1993, Jawbreaker was in full stride. The band had completed a full US tour in the summer, played several shows that October with Nirvana, and was attracting significant major label attention. 24 HOUR REVENGE THERAPY was Jawbreaker’s third album. After the more progressive BIVOUAC, the trio had returned to a straight-forward, pop sound, and the resulting full-length is widely regarded as their best. The bulk of the recording was done by noted independent producer Steve Albini.
