Two and a half decades on, Jawbreaker's 24 Hour Revenge Therapy
(1993-94) is the rare album to have lost none of its original
loyalty, affection, and reverence. If anything, today, the cult of
Jawbreaker-in their own words, "the little band that could but
would probably rather not"-is now many times greater than it was
when they broke up in 1996. Like the best work of Fugazi, The
Clash, and Operation Ivy, the album is now is a rite of passage and
a beloved classic among partisans of intelligent, committed,
literary punk music and poetry. Why, when a thousand other artists
came and went in that confounding decade of the 90s, did Jawbreaker
somehow come to seem like more than just another band? Why do they
persist, today, in meaning so much to so many people? And how did
it happen that, two years after releasing their masterpiece, the
band that was somehow more than just a band to its fans-closer to
equipment for living-was no longer? Ronen Givony's 24 Hour Revenge
Therapy is an extended tribute in the spirit of Nicholson Baker's U
& I: a passionate, highly personal, and occasionally obsessive
study of one of the great confessional rock albums of the 90s. At
the same time, it offers a quizzical look back to the toxic
authenticity battles of the decade, ponders what happened to the
question of "selling out," and asks whether we today are enriched
or impoverished by that debate becoming obsolete.
