Jawbox Reunion

--- Quote from: karl gambolputty... on 08 Oct 2009, 09:57 ---That's certainly true, but I'd argue that just makes it all the more interesting a case-study, since the end result was no different than that of the bands who went major and released watery, compromised albums.

Or bands that stayed with their indie roots and broke up anyway. No band lasts forever, but it's great if they record a masterpiece or two before breaking up. These bands wouldn't had they not jumped ship for a major. Sure, they'd have pretty good records. But not the amazing records they managed to produce. You could argue that the jump actually prolonged the life of the band beyond that which it would have been had they not done it.

i seem to remember j robbins mentioning in an interview that jawbox probably would've broken up sooner if it weren't for the move to the major label, so you've definitely got a point there.
Sox:
Jawbreaker said the same thing after 24 Hour Revenge Therapy.
spoon_of_grimbo:
actually, i could be confusing my jaw-bands there... unless they did both say that in interviews...
valley_parade:
Speaking of J. Robbins..
He just wrote a song with DCfC's Chris Walla.
