Attitudes between the band members continued to sour, particularly between Bauermeister and Schwarzenbach, who took to traveling in separate vans. Tensions came to a head in Salem, Oregon , culminating in a fistfight between the two which spilled out of the van and onto the sidewalk. “I remember just calling Blake a ‘fucking prima donna ‘ and a ‘stupid son of a bitch who thinks it’s all about him.’ Just letting it all out”, says Bauermeister, “It definitely put a wedge between us.” On returning to San Francisco, the band called a meeting and decided to break up, though Pfahler was resistant to the idea. Jawbreaker officially announced their breakup on July 4, 1996.
