Pitchfork Gives High Marks To The Reissue of Jawbreaker's Bivouac!

"Bivouac has always held a special place for me. It's their darkest collection, a sprawling, shaggy-dog set that found them transitioning from the cleaner, calmer Unfun to something grittier, wilder, and smarter. Bivouac was a ragged call to arms, 24 Hour Revenge Therapy an ambitious offering within that newer space they'd created." Read the complete review on Pitchfork.

Under The Radar Revisits Jawbreaker's Bivouac and Chesterfield King!

"The term "emo" has gotten a bad reputation, largely from its bastardization in the late '90s and early '00s, but looking back at these albums 20 years on, one remembers what the music really meant. Bivouac and Chesterfield King have aged well. And it's nice to see that they're being released again, so that a new generation of kids can be affected by them as some of us were 20 years ago."

Fanzine Explores The Relevance Of Jawbreaker's 'Bivouac."

"In Jawbreaker’s songs, the narrative of hardcore’s turbulent exodus into less dogmatic, more melodic pastures is compressed in white-hot bursts of conflict between fury and vulnerability, sincerity and jadedness, politics and introspection. It feels a lot like growing up." Keep Reading On Fanzine.

Prefix Discusses Jawbreaker's Reissue of "Bivouac" Calling It "Their Most Daring Work."

"In fact, it's that distance, both between people and between the individual and their own feelings, that frames Bivouac, and that Schwarzenbach explores so fully here, more than on the raw emotion of Unfun and more than on the concise attacks of 24 Hour Revenge Therapy. The 10-minute closing title track is a slow trudge, a way to, after the rumbling "Parabola" reflect on how it can possibly be the world looks so big, the people in it so small, so kept apart from one another."

Tiny Mix Tapes Talk About Jawbreaker Reissues And Proclaim "Plaid Beards Rejoice!"

"Although the LP version of Bivouac contains the album’s original tracklist, the CD and digital versions will also feature the tracks from the Chesterfield KingEP. But that’s not all, other bearded guys like me! That CD/digital version also features two bonus tracks. One of these tracks is an early version of “Ache,” one of the best songs on 24 Hour Revenge Therapy, the best Jawbreaker album. (“Gasp!” you said, almost spitting up PBR onto your Jets to Brazil shirt.)" Read on over at Tiny Mix Tapes.
