I could go on forever about the wonders of the ska/punk band Less Than Jake.  These guys have been making a name for themselves ever since their first full length Pezcore came out in 1995, and they’re still going strong.  LTJ is still dedicated to their music, they still put on an amazing show, and their music still sends a nostalgic chill down your spine.  Check out this interview with saxophonist JR Wasilewski as he discusses the dynamic of the band, record labels, and what it’s really like to be a part of a legendary band.

Sixteen months of buzz after the release of their first full-length, Dream Homes on No Idea Records, Dear Landlord had no trouble packing the thousand capacity venue, 8 Seconds at their set during The FEST 9. During their set at The FEST 8, they dressed up as Coneheads and sweat their way through one of the most anticipated sets of the weekend. They packed Common Grounds to the point most people missed them waiting in line for the “one in, one out” rule. To cement their Halloween themed Fest sets into solid tradition, they opted for the ridiculous and as a group donned Insane Clown Posse jewelry, clothes, and yes, even the makeup. Somehow, it worked and they had an incredibly energetic set despite the fact they opened the venue for the day, starting at 1pm. Take a look for yourself…
