***Etc. is the long-anticipated collection of A-sides, B-sides, covers and outtakes by the band Jawbreaker. Maybe you've heard of these guys. As one can imagine, the founding fathers of emo have quite a collection of tracks that never made it to any of their four studio albums. There's something for every mood on this Alpha-Omega of rare and previously-impossible-to-find songs. Presented chronologically, the journey begins in November '88 with a track recorded on the first Jawbreaker demo (before they were even known as Jawbreaker), and ends 20 songs later with the trio's final studio recording, a version of "Boxcar" re-worked at the end of the DGC Dear You sessions (hey, the studio was paid for). There's plenty of creme filling in the middle and it's all good, brother. The artwork for Etc. is warmly inviting to the familiar legions, who will revel in the band's track-by-track commentary and printed lyrics (courtesy of Aaron Cometbus). |
