Having played for many years in a ska-punk band there had to be one ska-punk album on my list. Less Than Jake are by far my favourite ska band and (although it is now difficult to isolate just one band out of the many that I love) probably my current favourite band.
Now, I am not for one moment saying this is the best Less Than Jake album (it’s not, that’s Hello Rockview) but it’s the first one that I bought when it came out and therefore listened to over and over in a short space of time.
Less Than Jake are just one of the best bands to watch live. They’re so much fun and if I could only ever see one band again, I would have no hesitation in picking them.
Also, they cover the Spongebob Squarepants theme tune.
