Robbins, bassist Kim Coletta, and drummer Adam Wade. The trio released their debut 7\" in 1990 as a split between Dischord Records and their own label, DeSoto.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOver the next three years, Jawbox put out two albums and three 7\" singles. \u003cem\u003eGrippe\u003c\/em\u003e, released in '91, was the band's first full-length. Second guitarist\/singer Bill Barbot joined the line-up in time to record '92's \u003cem\u003eNovelty\u003c\/em\u003e.

Recorded in Hoboken, NJ with John Agnello in winter of 1995, \u003cem\u003eJawbox\u003c\/em\u003e was the band's fourth and final album.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf \u003cem\u003eSweetheart\u003c\/em\u003e presented the band's music in a straightforward and unembellished state, \u003cem\u003eJawbox\u003c\/em\u003e found the group more open to experimentation. Arrangement-wise, it contains some of the band's densest compositions (\"\u003cem\u003eChinese Fork Tie\u003c\/em\u003e\"), but also some of its most concise and tuneful songwriting (\"\u003cem\u003eExcandescent\u003c\/em\u003e\").\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile the basic tracks were recorded more or less live, the songs were later augmented with sounds - toy drum kit, Hammond B3 organ, and saxophone - that were outside of the band's established palate. By the time \u003cem\u003eJawbox\u003c\/em\u003e was released via the Atlantic subsidiary TAG in 1996, it had become clear that Jawbox was beginning to wind down.
