In the summer of 1990 Jawbreaker embarked on the “Fuck 90” tour with Econochrist , which proved to be a grueling experience that briefly broke up the band. “It was roughly two months, in the summer, for a totally unknown band”, according to Schwarzenbach. “Of that tour, we probably had six rad shows. Then there were maybe 25 utterly forgettable metal-club-in-Florida-type shows.” Bauermeister stopped speaking to Pfahler and Schwarzenbach when the tour reached Canada, with several weeks still to go. By the conclusion of the tour, tensions between the members had risen to the point where they announced the band’s breakup. Schwarzenbach and Bauermeister returned to New York University to finish their degrees, and rarely spoke to each other.
