Jawbox - Grippe -1991
Studio Recordings @ 320
{Out of Print}
Washington, DC Jawbox were the first act to leave Ian McKaye’s run Dischord Records for a major label (Atlantic, in this case). A move to a major label turned into both a blessing and a curse for them – for one, they got a chance to present their music to an audience outside of punk/post-punk/indie circles, as well as full creative control over their work, but they were also burdened by incredible expectations and unable to decide on a direction after two albums recorded for Atlantic they finally broke up in the mid 90s. The band was formed by formed by J. Robbins (Government Issue) in the late 80s and initially also included drummer Adam Wade and bassist Kim Coletta. They recorded their debut – a 4 track EP in the spring of 1990 and released it on their own label Desoto. Later that year, the recorded their first full-length – “Grippe” – with engineer Eli Janney (Girls Against Boys) at an Inner Ear Studios. “Grippe” is seen by many as a valuable first step in the band’s history.
