"What makes great bands unforgettable are their masterpiece offerings. Enter Bivouac, Jawbreaker’s second, and greatest release.
When stoically charged front men like Schwarzenbach forge ahead with the sole intent to relentlessly badger their audience with songs fueled with a driving will to force listeners to submit their full attention, all need for a “hit single” falls to the wayside. What you’re left with is a near-perfect collection of tunes seamlessly merging to conceive a transcendent encapsulation of how meaning can be found with rock music." - Chris Desalvo, Consequence of Sound
