Celebrating Dear You in Delayed Fashion
The previous year, Jawbreaker announced a delayed 25th-anniversary tour for their 1995 album, Dear You. The band humorously stated, “The last two years don’t count,” referencing the global situation that halted live performances.
Dear You is a seminal album in Jawbreaker’s discography, marking a shift in their sound and causing a stir within their fanbase upon its release. Despite initial mixed reactions, the album has since been recognized as a classic in the punk rock genre.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a Salt Lake City date yet…
