Less Than Jake. My first time hearing them was on the Civic Tour with New Found Glory and Good Charlotte, they were one of the opening bands. Having never heard their music before, I'd decided to listen intently. Intently, I didn't even have to. What I heard completely, and I mean COMPLETELY, blew me away. I was totally amazed. LTJ is one of few bands that put on one hell of a live show. So, getting money for graduating from high school (yay!), I'd decided to purchase "Anthem". I'd heard 'She's Gonna Break Soon' and 'The Science Of Selling Yourself Short' on the radio, and liked the songs instantly. The rest of the album was no surprise. With the perfect blend of not just one, but two lead singers, drums, guitars and a horn section; they have got to be one of the most amazing bands around. I'd highly reccomend this CD to anyone, no matter what kind of music they listen to. So as I said in the begining: fucking mazing. Treat yourself to Less Than Jake's "Anthem." You wont be dissapointed, I promise.
