Less Than Jake Artist Snapshot:

Formed in Gainesville, Florida, during the early 1990s, Less Than Jake made its first big mark on the musical map with `96's LOSING STREAK, a collection of caffeinated ska-punk tunes. Although the band seemed destined to fade like many other third-wave ska acts, the group rebounded from a slump with `03's highly melodic ANTHEM, allowing LTJ to have a second lease on its musical career. Less Than Jake boasts a strong connection to the highly influential Fueled By Ramen label, which was started by drummer Vinnie Fiorello and groomed the renowned emo ensembles The Academy Is. and Fall Out Boy.

Review

Kerrang (Magazine) (p.53) - "[The album] took LTJ out of the underground to find a much wider audience at the peak of ska-punk's popularity."

Title Note

Less Than Jake: Chris (vocals, guitar); Roger (vocals, bass); Derron (baritone saxophone); Buddy, Pete (trombone); Vinnie (drums).

Additional personnel: Howard Benson (keyboards).

Recorded at Mirror Image Studios, Gainsville, Florida.

Emerging as part of the third wave ska revival, Less Than Jake combines near-metal guitar with a punk-inflected rhythm section that splits its time between Jamaican rhythms and '90s pop-punk. The synthesized-sounding horns that accent the ska feel on several of the more syncopated tracks might sound cheesy, but that's sort of the point. Less Than Jake doesn't take itself or anything else all that seriously, and they don't expect you to either. Their image and sound are essentially light-hearted and comical (the CD booklet contains a 12-page cartoon), but that doesn't stop Less Than Jake from raging through HELLO ROCKVIEW like there's a prize for whoever gets to the end of the last song first. Equal parts pop, punk and ska, the album will put off purists of all stripes, but should appeal to those who don't expect spiritual enlightenment from a bunch of rock musicians.
