Jawbreaker Biography

Jawbreaker was a San Francisco punk band
with roots in Los Angeles, where members Blake Schwarzenbach and Adam
Pfahler attended Crossroads High School together, and New York City, where
Schwarzenbach and Pfahler met bass player Chris Bauermeister at New York
University in 1988. The band put its DIY ethos into practice by managing
themselves, a model that became appropriated by other bands, including
Screeching Weasel.
