Devon Kay & the Solutions, who released a surprise album called Limited Joy (A-F Records) earlier this year, have shared a charitable cover of "Big" by Less Than Jake.  

Originally slated as part of the bands "Achilles Feels" compilation, the band changed directions midcourse due to a phone call from Less Than Jake guitarist/vocalist Chris DeMakes -- who ended up on the recording. Listen here. The song itself will help to raise funds for Assata's Daughters, a Black woman-led organization in Chicago -- with proceeds from this weekend's sales benefiting the organization.

In related news, Less Than Jake has announced a new record to be available on Dec. 11, 2020.

TV EP
Sleep It Off (2010)

200 Words Or Less

In theory, Less Than Jake covering catchy theme songs and product jingles sounds like a good idea. It seemed to work in the past. However, Less Than Jake’s TV/EP will fall short of your expectations.It’s hard to be too critical of an EP that was meant to be a fun project. The problem is, this project doesn’t have much replay … Read more
