Released split live album with Leatherface

In 1995, Jawbox released a split live album with Leatherface on the German independent label Your Choice Records , titled as Your Choice Live Series . The following year, Atlantic moved Jawbox to TAG Recordings , a new subsidiary label imprint that Atlantic created to house its alternative rock artists. The band then began recording sessions with producer John Agnello for their 1996 album Jawbox (not to be confused with their earlier self-titled releases of the same name on Dischord and Slamdek). “Mirrorful” was the first single and video to be released, and the video premiered on 120 Minutes . A cover of the Tori Amos song ” Cornflake Girl ” was included as a hidden track on Jawbox and was subsequently issued as a promotional single. The band was also the first act to play at the 1996 version of the large HFStival . They then toured throughout 1996 and played alongside bands such as Nada Surf and Rocket From the Crypt . Although the Jawbox album was viewed favorably, minimal estimations of the album’s sales lingered around 40,000 total and the TAG imprint also folded shortly afterwards. In early 1997 Jawbox and Atlantic/TAG mutually agreed to part ways.
