Jawbreaker is an influential punk rock band from Los Angeles, formed in 1986, known for their emotionally raw lyrics and melodic yet aggressive sound that helped define the post-hardcore genre. Led by vocalist Blake Schwarzenbach, the band released three acclaimed albums before breaking up in 1996, leaving a lasting impact on alternative rock that influenced countless bands in the decades to follow. Their 2017 reunion and subsequent touring have reintroduced their powerful music to both longtime fans and new generations of listeners.
