Less Than Jake Set To Release New EP

By Leave a Comment

Less Than Jake are set to release a new EP, TV/EP, on October 12th via their own label, Sleep It Off. The EP will feature tracks from TV theme songs and commercials. More information about the EP and the bands upcoming tour dates can be found below.

Recording 16 tracks in a total of roughly 13 minutes of music in bassist Roger Lima‘s basement, LTJ are defying convention again. Instead of offering new original material, they’re diving into the wide and fascinating world of television theme songs and commercials. Spanning from the vintage adverts of yesteryear to the frenetic promos of modern day, TV/EP reimagines a world where pop punk and ska is the music de rigueur, and this is the soundtrack to your couch potato life. Tracklisted as anonymously numbered channels (the band is keeping the names of the songs under wraps till right before release), the experience they have planned is akin to the feeling of flipping random television channels.

Just as hyper as their musical minds are, their physical touring bodies are gearing up for a handful of dates in the US including Chicago’s RIOT FEST, Japan, Europe and the UK. Their tour dates are:
