➡️ If I had heard “Want” by Jawbreaker before getting into punk rock on this channel, I would’ve assumed that’s what “textbook” punk songs sounded like. Nowadays, I can better appreciate the well-crafted songs from the punk rock scene, and this track ticks all the boxes of a cleverly-written punk anthem. Focusing on the band’s songwriting as a 3-piece, I loved hearing how bassist Chris Bauermeister doubled up on the bass presence throughout the song with rich bass chords, his groovy intro that reprised throughout the song, and his crisp piano-like Precision Bass tones. I discuss their use of the modal chord changes that, when used sparingly, become quickly effective in deviating from the song’s tonal center and overall feel. This is an succinct, catchy tune that slowly compounds on its own energy and makes you want to hear it again and again! I WANT YOU! ????✌????

  • It’s fun watching you discover Jawbreaker for the first time! Oh, my heart! Welcome to the family. When it pains, it roars.

  • What I love most about this song is its conveyance of the lyrics. The sound portrays a sense of euphoria, but one that is etched with melancholy and fragility. There is love, and a love for loving itself, but also an anticipation of heartbreak. It is recognized that the love will only be temporary, that everything will be shattered, but there is almost a rejoice in the moment, as if its fragility makes it all the more precious. It also mirrors the vulnerability of opening up oneself even when rejection is expected.

  • Jawbreaker is arguably one of the best rock bands out there. From the instruments and the lyrics, to even the rough vocals, everything comes together like a feverish dance.

  • Not sure about the recording but Chris used to play a P bass with retro fitted active pick ups with the 9 volt battery mounted on the front side of the bass, right behind the bridge. Jawbreaker is definitely a power trio with all three members in command of their individual role. Blake is one of the best lyricists I've encountered in my 50 years of listening to, and reading lyrics. Chris is really the unsung hero of the band. I saw Jawbreaker in Leeds UK back in 94-95. I was in a band named Ground which had just been reviewed in MRR stating "Sounds like Jawbreaker, but not nearly as good". I told Chris about the review and asked him if he would like say something in to my handheld recorder for our upcoming release. He said yes, I pressed record and he responded, "This is Chris Bauermeister from the depths of England stating that Ground firmly sucks". That quote was at the begining of a song on our next ep. I filmed several shows from that tour in the UK and the footage was used in their documentary titled "Don't Break Down".

  • Jawbreaker is one of my favorite bands, and this song is one of my favorite songs by them. Their bass lines are very fun to play, and I very much so recommend them!

  • If you want to talk about skate punk. Millencolin-no cigar ….. if you don’t they’ll all call you a poser

  • I don't comment much, but as a previous comment said, check out Osker, but I'd say Going on the Instincts over Panic or any other song. Osker is a crazy underrated Punk band

  • Whole album was amazing. Still is. Bassist always blew me away and what a great review from a real expert with great appreciation. Very cool.

  • When I was a young lad, we had jawbox jawbreaker and glassjaw all kicking around the same intersections of the altpunk kids. Jawbox was my jaw of choice

  • This is like true Emo before that word was ruined. Makes me wonder what you’d think of Rites of Spring and Sunny Day Real Estate.
