chumley Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Apparently Blake from Jawbreaker is in a new band with Aaron Cometbus. Here's visual proof: The 19 year old me is losing his mind over this news. The 37 year old me is also pretty jazzed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 WOW! Do they have a name yet? I've got to fill my college friends in....one of them had a man crush on Aaron Cometbus. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't hear the name yet. I just hope they are recording/doing this full time. I know Aaron tends to not stay in one place very long... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well, how can he? He's got that Comet Bus to fly around in. I wouldn't want to stop either! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chumley Posted November 12, 2008 Author Share Posted November 12, 2008 Well, how can he? He's got that Comet Bus to fly around in. I wouldn't want to stop either! Apparently, this is a real band with the intention of playing shows and recording. Among the small group of people who would care about this musical pairing, I could see this being one of the most highly anticipated records ever. P.S. The description I read of this was "the poppier side of Jawbreaker mixed with the poppier side of Pinhead Gunpowder". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 That description makes me very excited. Keep me posted! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Here ya go! http://www.alternativepress.com/news/ BLAKE SCHWARZENBACH'S "PRETTY AWESOME" NEW BAND PLAYS SURPRISE SHOWPosted by Brian Shultz on 11-Nov-08 @ 12:24 PM UPDATED at 11:20 P.M. EST Blake Schwarzenbach, famed former frontman for the hugely influential Jawbreaker and Jets To Brazil and currently an English professor at Hunter College in New York, recently played a surprise show with his new band according to music blog Cigarbox Guitars. The show took place Sunday night at the Jerk House with punk acts Underground Railroad To Candyland and Shellshag, presumably somewhere in Brooklyn. "I didn't actually see the set," said blog poster Green Hornet, "[and] I can't really say much about the sound, but I heard from everyone that they were pretty awesome. Not terribly shocking." No word on the band's name or any recordings, but this first reported appearance proves the gears are turning on Schwarzenbach's newest project -- his first since Jets To Brazil's 2003 breakup. It was originally announced in a collaborative Jawbreaker MySpace bulletin last month. If any other information becomes available, we'll be sure to let you know. Contributed by Derek Meier UPDATE: The inquisitive community at Punknews.org has investigated and determined that the new band is reportedly called the Thorns Of Life, is a three-piece and includes fellow East Bay notable Aaron Cometbus (Crimpshrine, Pinhead Gunpowder, Cometbus punk zine).
