Don't Break Down, The Jawbreaker documentary told the tale of the band's history, dynamics, and conclusion. It was an amazing journey through their albums and their arcs, and it all began in Southern California. I was reminded that Jawbreaker wasn't "their band" or "a band." Jawbreaker was "Our" band. Much like The LA Dodgers or many home teams, we can say "our team," as if we fans are part owners. Jawbreaker was that for us. The band was our secret, our go to, and we'd defend them no matter what.

(He's probably mortified that this is now available to the world, but I swear it's worth it). Support Adam by making a purchase at Jawbreakerband.com and joining his new...
