Less Thank Jake @ HOB Cleveland-Show Review


With their new album "GNV FLA" out in stores, Less Than Jake hit the stage at House of Blues off Euclid Ave. in downtown Cleveland earlier this month.

Being a LTJ fan for the longest time, this was a real treat to finally see them live, along with Suburban Legends and Goldfinger as the openers.

LTJ brought out all the old school songs, peppered with new songs off their latest album including "Conviction Notice". The band played for over an hour and fifteen minutes. You'd never guess that the band has been together for 16 years, they played as if they had just been signed, and brought out to tour for the first time. After all these years Less Than Jake knows how to rock the house and debate in a great round of "Plastic Cup Politics."

Go out and buy their new album "GNV FLA", it's a great CD salute to their hometown of Gainesville, Florida and will make you dig through your closet looking for your old LTJ shirt, the brown baggy shorts, Converse shoes and your Pez dispenser.
