J. Robbins

J. ROBBINS, the singer/guitarist and principal songwriter of many DC and Maryland based post-punk rock bands since the late 1980s, (most notably Jawbox, Burning Airlines, and Channels), releases new music under his own name both on Dischord Records and independently on Bandcamp, playing live and touring regularly either with Brooks Harlan on bass and Peter Moffett on drums as J. Robbins (band), or playing solo acoustic, sometimes accompanied by Gordon Withers on cello. Recent tours have included support spots for Sugar, Bob Mould (solo and band), and Sunny Day Real Estate. Since the mid-90s J. has also been a recording engineer and producer of note in the post-punk music underground and continues in that role, as owner and operator of the Magpie Cage recording studio in Baltimore MD.
