Less Than Jake has posted the first portion of an upcoming track from In With the Out Crowd. The track is available on their studio journal and includes a prominent ska and horn-heavy introduction.
You can check it out here.
The band is currently recording the follow up to their 2003 Warner debut, Anthem. That album was followed by the B-Sides compilation, B is for B-Sides and DVD, A People's History of Less Than Jake, both released in 2004.
The band is recording with producer Howard Benson, who was behind the boards on 1998's Hello Rockview.
Upon completing the record, the band will head out on a six-week North American tour. While the full schedule is yet to be announced, expect to see A Wilhelm Scream, Damone, Rock 'n' Roll Soldiers and Big D and the Kids Table on the bill.
