Caught up in the bubbling major-label feeding frenzy of those strange post-Nevermind, post-Dookie years, Jawbox were one of the many coulda-been-a-contender acts chewed up and spat out by those that didn’t entirely know what to do with them.
JAWBOX was born circa 1989, clawing their way from the primordial pond of DC's raucous, vibrant, Dischord-driven underground to claim a seat of honor at the table of what eventually came to be called postharDCore. The racket raised by the four members J. ROBBINS, KIM COLETTA, W.C. 3DB BARBOT, and ZACH BAROCAS was suitably loud, occasionally fast, and spirited enough live to move the punkers around the dance floor in something considerably less than a decorous fashion. But by the time the mature band came to record their third full-length, their first for a major label after amicably leaving Dischord, they had distanced themselves somewhat from their purely post-punk roots and were more intent on breeding strident wolves clad in a pop song's clothing. For Your Own Special Sweetheart, whose title was cribbed from the box blurb for a Barbie doll, was released by Atlantic Records right around Valentine's Day 1994, to cries of both genius and sellout to their respectively thrilled and bemused fans. As they toured, praise accumulated. Critics and fans alike still view Sweetheart as the band at its peak, with its heavy rhythms, guitar-driven noise, and hooky melodies proving the signature to Jawbox's sound.
