Set sail for uncharted waters with ska-punk legends Less Than Jake. The band has announced their new EP, ‘Uncharted’, set to be released on November 15 via Pure Noise Records. Along with the news comes their latest single and music video Sunny Side, out now.
‘Uncharted’ is a culmination of the band’s latest singles, including Brand New Day, Not My Problem, Walking Pipebomb, and Broken Words, with the artwork coming together to complete the treasure map.
“Man, the main riff in drop D has been around forever. I wrote that back when we were demoing for the Anthem record,” recalls frontman/guitarist Chris DeMakes. “It just never felt right, and was shelved. I never forgot about the idea. This time, Roger wrote the choruses, and I came up with the U2 stadium rock guitar bridge. Matt found the drum feel and groove that I was searching for all those years earlier, and the brass added a horn hook over the big guitar riff – one that rivals any of their catchiest parts. I can’t wait to play this one live.”
Adds bassist/vocalist Roger Lima: “LTJ has messed with the slow and heavy vibe on a few songs, but I feel like we finally got it right with ‘Sunny Side’. Between the grooves, the changes, the horns and the lyrics, we are pumping this one on all cylinders.” He continues, “Sunny Side is like a reminder to actively make an effort to live in the present. Move past your old haunts and be the absolute best version of you that you can.”
Fans around the world can catch Less Than Jake on the road throughout the rest of 2024 and into 2025. The band wrapped up their European tour this past summer, and recently kicked off their fall US ‘Final Visit To Rockview Tour’. They’ll be traveling to Australia later this month, performing their own headline shows as well as part of Hotter Than Hell, and recently announced that they will be headlining Slam Dunk Festival in the UK next year.
More than three decades into an already impressive career – which includes 8 studio albums, tours with Descendents, blink-182, Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Snoop Dogg, Bad Religion, and more, and over 365 shows on the Vans Warped Tour – Less Than Jake has never been a band to rest on its laurels. They released their latest studio album, ‘Silver Linings’ in 2020 via Pure Noise Records, with a deluxe version following in 2022. Featuring singles Lie To Me, Dear Me, Anytime and Anywhere, and Keep On Chasing, Silver Linings captured the attention of Brooklyn Vegan, Loudwire, SPIN, and more.
