From sweaty club shows to uproarious festival dates, LESS THAN JAKE'S deeds are best measured in the smiles they've generated for life-long fans and new listeners alike.
Uncharted, the ska-punkers' brand new 7 song EP released by longtime label Pure Noise Records, should help keep those smiles tattooed on the faces of their fans. The new material is stacked with loud guitars, booming bass, thunderous drums, those distinct vocal harmonies, and the one-two punch of the trombone and sax.
These seven tracks see the band conquering new musical territory, while holding true to the classic LESS THAN JAKE sound.
Indeed, LESS THAN JAKE --guitarist/vocalist Chris DeMakes, bassist/vocalist Roger Lima, trombonist Buddy Schaub, saxophonist Peter "JR" Wasilewski and drummer Matt Yonker -- may have been at this for over three decades, but with the energy and spirit of this new EP, you would never know it.
The recording sessions were helmed by Jason Livermore and legendary drummer/producer Bill Stevenson (Black Flag, Descendents, ALL). Stevenson and crew harnessed LESS THAN JAKE's urgency and helped capture their frenetic live energy on this eclectic collection of new material.
So, what's next for Less Than Jake? One thing is for certain - their consistency.
While the tendency now is for legacy acts to announce farewell and reunion tours, LESS THAN JAKE have never even taken a summer off. 33 years performing and the band is more visible than ever. If you're looking for a rocking good time, look no further: LESS THAN JAKE doesn't just bring the party, they are the party!
Encore
A great show by these guys, as always. Venue was decent with good sound and friendly, well-organized, helpful staff.
Never have I seen a band that enjoys what they do . I've seen them a few times and they're never off their game. Chris makes an effort to make regional stage banter but it's not forced or phoney. Doing this since92 always worth it!!
A great line-up of openers and a fantastic show from Less Than Jake! Got to see one of my favourite bands live and was stoked to see that they're just as awesome in person (actually, more so!). I've been to this venue twice this month, and the space is great, and so far, all the people (employees and attendees) have been awesome! Definitely will be coming back to History for more shows and DEFINITELY will be seeing Less Than Jake again any time they're around. JUST A GREAT SHOW!!
Less than Jake was amazing. Strung outs sound was a little muffled at first, not sure if that is the fault of the venue? Otherwise, fantastic show. Bring strung out back as a headliner ASAP
LTJ Is still in my books one of my top all time favorite bands.. great show hats off .. keep it up boys Roger.. keep playing a mean bass
What a killer show! Less Than Jake were awesome! Highly recommend seeing them live. Planet Smashers, Strung Out, and Raging Nathans were also great.
Less than Jake put on an incredible show! They sounded fantastic and were entertaining and engaging with the crowd. Great show! I waited 20 years for this show and it was worth the wait!
Less than Jake was absolutely incredible. Unfortunately, we lined up for over an hour and half just to get into the venue. We missed the opening band, and only caught the last two songs from Strung Out -- which I was really looking forward to. Not sure what the delay was, but a lot of people were quite upset. That being said, the venue is absolutely beautiful, and Less Than Jake put on an incredible show that I'll never forget.
This brought me back to the early 2000’s. We danced and sang every word. The band was amazing and really engaged with the crowd. Was an awesome time
On est arrivé avant l heure des spectables et quand on a reussi a entrer les 2 premiers show etait fini ! J ai rien contre les fouilles mais c est la responsabilite de la salle d avoir le staff pour garantir l entree des gens ! Pas contre less than jake etait excellent !
