that he was Less Than Jake. The band has been around since
early 1993 and their first show was in that March. As of October
, 1996 Less Than Jake had 13 releases but, including
compilations, they appeared on 51 albums. Less Than Jake
recently signed to the major label Capitol Records and released
there newest and, in my opinion, best record yet, Losing Streak.

favorite dispenser are his
