Ageless ska punks Less Than Jake, currently on a brief lull between legs of the Back For The Attack tour with Bowling For Soup, has released a new limited edition flexi 7" called "Fat Mike's On Drugs (Again)," a fairly obvious joke at the expense of their friend, Fat Mike of NOFX notoriety (and owner of their onetime label Fat Wreck Chords).

“Just having fun with it! Fat Mike is a great friend and we are all fans of NOFX," says Roger Lima. "This song came together over a few jam sessions and we recorded it without too much overthinking. Hopefully, everyone finds the humour in this track and remember kids, don’t do drugs!”

In addition to a limited physical pressing, the band shares a video created by Chris Fafalios (Punchline).

The problem is, this project doesn’t have much replay … Read more
