Jawbreaker's equipment and digital masters were stolen
It's been a year of ups and downs for Jawbreaker. In the second half of 2017, the band reunited to much fanfare. However, California cat burglars were not interested in seeing the band live. Sometime between the end of 2017 and the very beginning of this year, someone broke into Jawbreaker's California storage unit and stole a bunch of gear. items stolen include an amplifier, snare drums, and external hard drives containing the band’s digitized masters. See the band's statement below.
Jawbreaker statement
"Jawbreaker's space at Extra Space Storage in Emeryville, California was broken into and robbed sometime between December 7, 2017 and January 10, 2018. We lost a shitload of equipment including a handful of extrernal hard drives (Seagate?) containing our digitized master tapes. NorCal folks: please be on the lookout for these two precious items pictured below: Blake's 1996 Reissue 1959 SLP (cover torn); and Adam's 1989 Yamaha snare (brass, 8" deep). Also lost: mid-70s Ludwig Vistalite snare; 1966 Ludwig maple snare (marine pearl wrap); 1966 Ludwig 13" rack tom (marine pearl wrap); 1966 Ludwig Supraphonic snare drum. I could puke. Also, you can buy a ticket to our Palladium show at Amoeba, Hollywood for a $3 service charge. Get there."
