Less Than Jake are doing a small stint with Hostage Calm and Pentimento . In honor of this, the bands are offering up a free tour sampler. Each band contributed a song to the three-track sampler which can be downloaded here. On it, you'll find Less Than Jake's "A Return to Headphones," Hostage Calm's "Don't Die on Me Now" and Pentimento's "Unless."
Shocking to probably many of you, Less Than Jake is still around and cranking out ska. Even more shocking to most of you, that music is still pretty damn good. Now I know that ever since they abandoned ska with their erhm ... pop-friendly In With The Out Crowd that they lost a lot of their older fans, including myself. However they had a return to form with their 2008 release of GNV FLA that was incredibly solid, and let me go ahead and say that their compilation [...]
Less Than Jake have begun writing their eighth full-length. Drummer Vinnie Fiorello said this: It's not a secret that we have been not releasing any full length records, I loved the quickness of writing and recording the EP format, you can dance around [different] styles .Anyway, being able to cut songs and recording into chunks served our band well during the last few years, allowing us to equally concentrate on our anniversary and be at home with our new expanding families. Now, we have been writing new songs for a full length, a complete [...]

Yesterday the Vans Warped Tour made its first return to London since 1999. We didn't go. We do know some people who did go, and their reactions on Twitter ranged from "Oh my God! Onesies everywhere!" to "Lasted just an hour at Warped" . We know that (some) of us here at Thrash Hits have a reputation as being surly No Fun Club -types, but by gosh, did we not see this as a challenge to make a listenable Sunday Spotify Slaylist about it. Oh God, did we try. [...]
Long time no see homies! I just got back from a trip to Vegas for the first time in my life, and what a fucking place. I never been there before, and for someone with A.D.D, that place is one giant distraction after another. Pulled all nighters practically every night, my entire trip was pretty much sponsored by energy drinks and questionable decisions (that worked out very well in the end). Everything in that city is over the top, and I can see why people I know hate it, but it's definitely what you make of it. I [...]

If it had been any other lineup, I probably wouldn't have attended Chicago's Riot Fest 2012 - simply because of its location(s). For one, I loathe the Congress Theater. I'll never forget how their bathrooms look like set pieces from Seven or Saw , or how they let Man Man sound piss poor that one time, or when they closed coat check during a bitter cold New Year's Eve party. The latter which resulted in yours truly getting heat sores all over his chest, all from having to wear a leather jacket on the dance [...]
In addition to those sweet as you like on-stage photos of Cancer Bats' Main Stage triumph we showed you last weekend , our man Gobinder Jhitta took a shedload of photos at this year's Leeds Festival. We basically gave him free rein to go shoot whatever and whoever he wanted, and he didn't let us down - pretty much every band we ranted and/or raved about in our post-Reading & Leeds Festival podcast is featured in his gallery, which you can check out after the jump.

As I leave the Starland Ballroom for the first time I look back and realize that this show was one of the loudest and craziest shows of my life. The show featured ska/reggae kings Less Than Jake and Catch 22 , along with supporting acts Obi Fernandez , The Waffle Stompers , and the Avon Junkies . Unfortunately, I showed up late and didn't have a chance to catch the Avon Junkies. I arrived about 5 minutes before the Waffle Stompers came out. I was excited to see them because I had [...]

The band followed the release of the album by signing to Warner Music Group to some controversy . The [...]
Holy matrimony, batman. Did you know that in ancient times, the job of the groomsmen was to protect the bride from being kidnapped and the groom from being murdered by rivals? We've come a long way. I spent the past weekend down in DC for one of my best bud's weddings. Dancing, food, merriment, friend reunions, and stage dives... It almost makes me want to get married but then I realize, all I want is to have a giant party all the time. And you know what that means... here's a few punk/ska tunes about marriage. [...]

Counting (out of step) sheep Usually I don't post at night because I'm busy with other shit, but I've been busy all weekend and really felt like making a post today. It's approaching midnight for us East Coasters here, so I figure, why not make a mix for all you people out there who have the night jobs/studying/just plain fucking can't sleep.
