Riot Fest 2019 Countdown 4 – Jawbreaker

Jawbreaker was one of the bands that helped advance the pop punk/melodic punk sound in the early nineties.  They’re referenced here. Though the broke up pretty quickly (something about a fist fight on the side of the road) and didn’t get to enjoy it.  They are the big reunion act at Riot Fest in 2017, though following Rage probably didn’t do them so good.  Jawbreaker has been touring since then.  They’ll probably play right before Blink this year.  We’ll find out soon.  I’d rate them an “Okay” on a day full of conflicts.  Odd fact, the drummer’s sister is the singer for the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black (remember them from RF17?).

They play Friday.
