Hey ska fans! November 12, 2013 marks the release of Less Than Jake’s second full length LP on Fat Wreck Chords entitled See The Light. To support the release of their new album LTJ will be headlining the Fat Tour with punk rock veterans Anti-Flag, Masked Intruder, and Get Dead.
See The Light features 13 new tracks promising disappointment for those expecting retreads and repeats. The band has already released one song from the new album called “My Money Is On The Long Shot” & the song, drummer Vinnie Fiorello, advised The Pier to pay attention to. It features bass player Roger Manganelli on vocals along with traditional upbeat guitar, tempo changes, and poetic lyrics one would expect from the Florida based ska band. The group claims the album is the closest thing to band’s old school sound. Drummer Vinnie Fiorello and their tour manager, Matt Yonker, both said if you liked ‘GNV FLA’ then you are going to love ‘See The Light’.
