Jawbox - [1994] For Your Own Special Sweetheart


sound: Indie Rock/Post Hardcore
myspace
Listened to this record 3 times in a row the other day while shoveling snow, no sweat. You know it's pretty fucking good when you don't mind hearing it from start to finish, much less three fucking times in a row. This band sounds surprisingly like Pilot to Gunner, if you don't get that joke then look up the word sarcasm. They are without a doubt a staple of any lover of DC Post Hardcore, or any one with a hard on for J. Robbins. Fortunately for me my discovery of this band was because my boyfriend fits in both of those categories. If there was a Post Hardcore starter kit, or a 90's post grunge school of rock, i'm pretty sure this record would be in both. Anyway, this band is epic, this press is prolific, and if you don't believe me then listen to the track Savory because it's fucking fantastic.
FYOSS reissued on vinyl.

sounds like: Burning Airlines, Pilot to Gunner, Sparta

Bang = VBR.
