If you've been keeping up with Less Than Jake over the years, you should know what to expect with their latest album. Just because it's predictable, though, doesn't make it any less fun. Those who never liked Chris Demakes' nasal delivery aren't going to change their minds here, but the band's knack for writing a catchy melody is still intact. The...

Less Than Jake — Anthem

in
By Andy Lee (CHARTattack) May 20, 2003 9:56 am
Sire Records, 2001 Some Bigwig: "Guys, ska-punk is so 1995. We need to freshen up your sound. What do you think of Sum 41?" Less Than Jake: "Dude, we're trying to keep it real." Bigwig: "Keeping it real on a major is a laugh, kids." Which brings us to Anthem, an album that all but destroys Less Than Jake's...

Cancer Bats are working on the follow-up to last year's Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones, which they say should feature plenty of Sabbath-esque riffs. And, y'know... screaming. That, too. Anet Mook, singer for '90s indie rockers Cay, died earlier this month after she was hit by a bus in Amsterdam. Her funeral was held last Thursday.Your mom...

Less Than Jake Haven't Forgotten Gainesville

in
By Kate Harper (CHARTattack) June 4, 2008 4:00 pm
Against Me! have been getting tons of attention lately, but Gainesville, Fla.'s other sons, Less Than Jake, aren't about to let them monopolize things. They've made their hometown the subject of their GNV FLA album that's due on June 24 through their own Sleep It Off Records. The 14-track GNV FLA was recorded at Chicago's Atlas Studios and...

Less Than Jake Are Losers Who Don't Fear Street Meat

in
By Phil Villeneuve (CHARTattack) May 12, 2006 5:00 pm
You know those guys back in high school who you didn't altogether hate, but didn't necessarily like either? The ones that farted in class, wore leather and head-banged — even when there wasn't any music. Yeah, you remember — the losers. Whether you remember them or were one of them, you probably won't have a hard time relating to ska-pop-punk...

Less Than Jake — B Is For B-Sides

in
By Shannon Whibbs (CHARTattack) July 20, 2004 12:20 pm
A is for Anthem and B is for B-sides. Or so is the impetus for this collection of B-sides that didn’t make the original cut for their 2003 breakthrough album, Anthem. This disc doesn’t sound like a typical B-sides compilation. It’s cohesive, addictive and the production value is excellent. The B-sides maintain the band’s classic pop-punk/ska sound...

Less Than Jake - Borders & Boundaries

in
By Keith Carman (CHARTattack) November 21, 2000 10:12 am
Yahoo! Finally growing up and realizing that white boys can't play ska worth shit, Less Than Jake have nixed the clanky guitars and overwrought horns on Borders & Boundaries (give or take a few tracks - we're talking overall feel here), creating an album that just might be their best effort yet. A nice mix of melodic vocals enhanced...
