JTB's sound draws from a wider spectrum than did Jawbreaker, from the intro of "Time of My Life" that sounds like the beginning of Pink Floyd's "Shine on You Crazy Diamond" or the Wire-influenced material found on the bands first release "Orange Rhyming Dictionary".
But it was the muscular pop of Blake Schwarzenbach and Jets to Brazil that caused the crowd to bop and sing along, much like their parents might have done to Cheap Trick 20 years ago.
