Jawbreaker plans ‘Unfun’ reissue, talks documentary

The members of beloved punk act Jawbreaker have posted a lengthy bulletin discussing their current status and talking about some upcoming releases. The first chunk comes from Adam Pfahler who discussed the reissue of the band\’s 1990 album, “Unfun”:

“I am going back down to LA this weekend to [work on the remaster.] Unfun will be available online through the usual providers and in stores in early 2009 on Blackball Records. Extras will include the 7″ mix of Busy and alternate mixes of Want and Fine Day. The CD and LP will be available exclusively at Hot Topic for the first few months of release, and then will go out to the mom and pops.

Hot Topic, you ask? I said it. They have been incredibly supportive these past few years, stocking our records and shirts in all of their stores.

[Regarding] the documentary that Tim Irwin and Keith Schieron (We Jam Econo: The Story of the Minutemen) are making. I\’d say they are halfway there. They are going to interview Rob Cavallo next and have him go through a couple of songs.”

Frontman Blake Schwarzenbach also weighed in:

“I am currently defending my master’s thesis at Hunter College in Manhattan, making music in an as yet unnamed group. I feel as though I am emerging from a kind of muted, reflective nuclear winter. It’s awkward to talk about one’s own music since that is what we ask the music to do; so I’ll say only that it meets my own inner-standard of truth. I believe in it enough to overcome my own fear of making it.”
