Since their inception in 1992, Less Than Jake has released some of the most interesting and fun records in punk rock. After all, can you name any bands that have released records shaped like birthday cake and moldy cheese or have released records in pizza boxes (I know, I know, Horse!) and pie tins? This is all in addition to flexi discs, a split with Megadeth and much, much more. It would take much too long to cover every vinyl release the band has put out. Instead, Vinyl File is thrilled to present the Less Than Jake highlight reel.

In related Less Than Jake news, Vinnie Fiorello of Gainesville, Florida's Less Than Jake was interviewed this past week for Central Connecticut State Univesitiy'sThe Recorder . He mentioned that the band is planning on hitting the studio in March for a release in June on the band's own record label. He also discusses his business decisions and says that the new album will see the band "going to go back true to form." Expect references to both Pez and Johnny Quest.
