About J. Robbins
Artist Biography
A mainstay of the Washington, D.C. punk scene since the mid-'80s, J. Robbins has created a lasting legacy on the stage and in the studio. The trademarks of his work are the sharp, wiry tone of his guitar work, the strong, adventurous angles of his melodies, and the literate but grounded perspective of his lyrics. In Jawbox, the impact of the music was heavier and more distorted, while Burning Airlines offered a more streamlined variation on their theme, and Channels and Office of Future Plans moved his music closer to smart indie rock than the chaotic alternative tones of his earlier work. On Robbins' first solo album, 2019's Un-Becoming, he found a midpoint between the ambitious melodic structures of his later work and the physical impact of his recordings with Jawbox. 2024's Basilisk stepped up on the creative ambition of his debut while adding electronic influences to the mix.
