You'd think that almost two full years of near-nonstop touring would deserve a long break, but such is not the case for ska/punk/pop pioneers LESS THAN JAKE who are continuing their trek across the Atlantic and into Europe and UK with punk-rap legends Zebrahead.
"We were used to being in the UK and Europe three times a year like clockwork but we took some time away for some new projects," says LTJ drummer Vinnie Fiorello. "Now we are coming back and can't wait to be back doing a full tour."
This tour with Zebrahead is a special one since the bands have been friends for over a decade. "We've known the Zebrahead guys since 1997 and being able to share a tour with them again makes the journey full circle," he continues.
The affinity between bands is reciprocal, as Zebrahead's bassist Ben Osmundson adds, "Zebrahead is beyond stoked to be bringing the Peace, Love and Beer back to the the UK/Europe with our favorite band the almighty Less Than Jake!"
Hotly celebrated as a return to form, Less Than Jake's seventh album GNV FLA has received plaudits from the media and fans alike, generating praise from newspapers such as Buffalo News who remarked, "Less Than Jake have only gotten better and better at creating a sound all their own" and Denver Post who gushed, "Less Than Jake are just, well, awesome."
AMP Magazine said, "[GNV FLA] is damn sure a great album," while AbsolutePunk proclaims, "Less Than Jake aren't going anywhere except in steady rotation in your iPod, and GNV FLA proves that unequivocally."
