Ska-punk lifers Less Than Jake have released a new single, “Broken Words,” their first original new song since their 2021 split with Kill Lincoln. Like their song on that split and their 2020 album Silver Linings, the song sounds like classic LTJ. They don’t fix what ain’t broke, and they’ve still got the same spirit they had in the ’90s.
“It happens to me, too. I’ll try to say something, (maybe I didn’t choose the best words, but I tried), they get misinterpreted and I end up unintentionally communicating something I didn’t mean at all,” says bassist/co-vocalist Roger Lima. “Know that feeling? Yeah, words are totally broken sometimes.” The song’s out now via Pure Noise and you can hear it below.
Less Than Jake also have tour dates coming up that will find them performing their classic 1998 album Hello Rockview in its entirety, and they open one of NOFX’s final shows. They’re also throwing their inaugural Wake N Bake Jamaica concert vacation in Jamaica this January with The Bouncing Souls, Bowling For Soup, and Punk Rock Karaoke. All dates are listed below.
