For those of you who might be too young to remember Jawbox, do yourselves a favor and check them out on Jimmy Fallon's show. You won't be disapointed...in them at least. I haven't seen Jimmy Fallon's show yet to have an opinion on it but the 4-5 minutes of Jawbox alone makes the show worth watching.

I would strongly urge all AP readers to immediately buy Jawbox's 1996 self-titled album. The guitar work, the drumming, the songwriting still sound fresh and innovative today. Bands such as Motion City Soundtrack & Alkaline Trio have cited this band as a major influence, and for good reason.
