Lockjaw (album)

Lockjaw is the second studio album by American rock band Dance Hall Crashers. Produced by the band themselves, Stoker and Rob Cavallo, the album was released on August 29, 1995, in the United States by (510) Records, an imprint of MCA Records.

Critical reception
Pemberton Roach of AllMusic called Lockjaw a "wonderful reminder of the original spirit of ska-punk," elaborating that "Rather than celebrate the meathead/frat boy misogyny and overly simplistic anarchistic politics that have plagued a lot of "third-wave" ska and punk-pop, Dance Hall Crashers choose to throw a big ol' party." Trouser Press considered the album "a marvelous surge of mature and catchy power pop accented with punk juice and set — almost incidentally — to a breathless bluebeat."
