Jaw Crack

**Jaw Crack** is a Minneapolis-based punk band known for their raw, high-energy sound and grassroots DIY ethos. Formed around 2016, they’ve carved out a space in the city’s thriving underground scene with their fast-paced, emotionally charged tracks that blend hardcore punk urgency with melodic grit. Recent releases like *Building Gallows* and *The Tide* showcase their knack for pairing biting lyrics about personal turmoil and societal friction with breakneck riffs, while their 2020 split with Dodge This! (*Dodge This! / Jaw Crack*) highlights their collaborative spirit.

Though details about the band’s lineup are scarce (they lean into a fiercely anonymous, community-first vibe), their music—including the demo *Can’t Stand What You Enjoy*—resonates with fans of unfiltered, cathartic punk. Jaw Crack’s live shows are legendary for their intensity, embodying the sweat-and-passion ethos of basement shows and DIY spaces. Keep an eye on their Bandcamp for new drops—they’re all about keeping it loud, fast, and real.
