Roots of Texas Is the Reason

The Van Pelt is an American indie rock band from New York City that were active from 1993 to 1997, and have reformed several times since.

Jawbox was an American post-hardcore band from Washington, D.C., formed in 1989. The original lineup consisted of J. Robbins (vocals/guitar), Kim Coletta (bass), and Adam Wade (drums). Jawbox released their first two full-lengths Grippe (1991) and Novelty (1992) on the local independent label Dischord Records, eventually becoming the third best-selling band on the label, behind Minor Threat and Fugazi. Bill Barbot joined the band as an additional guitarist and vocalist after the release of Grippe, and Zach Barocas replaced Wade on drums after the release of Novelty.
