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."
