In brief, about Jawbreaker and their music career
The band was formed as a collaboration between Blake Schwarzenbach, Chris Bauermeister, and Adam Pfahler. Schwarzenbach and Pfahler had been friends since high school. The band is considered a cult legacy of the emo and punk genres, with their unique lyrical sensibility that mixes poetry with the exploration of social issues at the personal level.
The band released their debut studio album, Unfun, in May 1990. The album failed to chart, and was later dismissed by the band themselves as an immature effort that lacked cohesion and polish. The band subsequently released two other albums, both of which also failed to chart.
The band achieved commercial breakthrough with their fourth and final studio album, Dear You, which was released on September 12, 1995. The album peaked at number 22 on the Billboard Heatseekers album charts.
