J Robbins

Jawbox are finally back.

Back in the George W Bush era, hardcore vets Vic Bondi (of Articles of Faith, Alloy, etc) and J Robbins (Jawbox, Government Issue, etc) formed Report Suspicious Activity with two members of Kerosene 454 and Oswego, Darren Zentek and Erik Denno. They’re now reunited for the Trump era, with a new album, an even newer single, and a video for that single…

The ’90s-era indie/emo vets are back with a sophomore album 20 years after their debut, and it’s a crisp, modern-sounding record that should please longtime fans and new ones alike.

Jawbreaker’s Coney Island and Asbury Park shows got some very exciting openers, including Les Savy Fav (whose shows are few and far between), Lucero (who have a well-known Jawbreaker cover), and more.

’90s emo band Pohgoh are releasing the J Robbins-produced ‘Secret Club,’ their first album since their 1998 debut, this September.

Though Shawn Brown is staying busy fronting the reunited Dag Nasty, he’s also still making time for his newer band Red Hare, which includes members of other veteran hardcore bands like Swiz, Bluetip, Garden Variety, and more.

Like their killer 2015 self-titled debut, War On Women recorded LP2 with Jawbox’s J Robbins.

Jonah says: “The video is literally a student project that I found on the internet after searching under ‘colonialism’. I was instantly interested when I noticed it’s pretty much the exact length of the tune…”

Jonah Matranga and J Robbins once again join forces, this time for Camorra. Check out their new lyric video for “Roosevelt Champion III.”
