Losing Streak and Hello Rockviews were released on a major Capitol, but Borders and Boundaries (the album you’re reading about of course!) was a one-off album on Fat (of course See the Light would be released on Fat too 14 years later). During this time, Jessica Mills quit the band and was replaced by Pete Anna. Losing Streak followed in 1996, and Hello Rockview in 1998. After several EPs and 7 inches (that turned into the great compilation Losers, Kings and Things We Don’t Understand) the debut Pezcore was released in 1995. In 1993, Jessica Mills and Buddy Schaub joined the band as their horn section. Roger Lima would later join the band on bass. The band is named after Jake, Vinnie’s family’s pet parrot. Vinnie Fiorello, Chris Demakes and Shaun Grief originally played by the name Good Grief when they attended high school in Port Charlotte, FL, but as Vinnie and Chris attended the University of Florida and Shaun moved to New York, Vinnie and Chris started Less Than Jake. It also has a 20 th anniversary this year! Inspired by ska, pez candy and possibly Charlie Brown, Less Than Jake started up in Florida in the early ‘90s. So writing this column and being in no physical contact with other people, it’s my time to revisit it and reconnect with it. Probably the LTJ album from before 2009 that I’ve listened the least to. So then I felt like the appropriate album for this column was Borders and Boundaries. I’ve previously written about my two favorite LTJ albums Hello Rockview and Losing Streak in Years of Our Lives two nearly perfect albums. This time we’re in 2000 and Less Than Jake’s album Borders and Boundaries. Yes folks, it’s time for another pop punk pick from your Norwegian pal, at least that’s something for me to write and you to read in this Corona virus afflicted times.
