{"product_id":"less-than-jake-hello-rockview","title":"Less Than Jake - Hello Rockview","description":"\u003cp\u003eSka punk rarely sounded as big or as bittersweet as it does on Hello Rockview, the 1998 album where Less Than Jake polished their hometown hustle into something built for bigger stages.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gainesville band's third album and their second for Capitol, it was produced by Howard Benson and recorded close to home at Mirror Image Studios. Drummer and lyricist Vinnie Fiorello poured four years of his life into the words, and the title came from an old friend serving time at Rockview State Correctional Institution. That mix of humour, heartache and hometown grit runs right through the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"History of a Boring Town\" is the anthem, a horn-blasted tribute to going nowhere fast that earned them modern rock airplay, while \"All My Best Friends Are Metalheads\" is a gleeful, fist-pumping sing-along. \"Help Save the Youth of America From Exploding\" barrels in with breakneck energy, and \"Motto\" rides one of the sharpest, catchiest hooks on the record.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe horns are tight, the choruses are huge, and the band sound like they are having the time of their lives, even when the lyrics are about everything going wrong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor anyone raised on Warped Tour or simply in need of a lift, this is a ska-punk landmark that still skanks hard.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57287057998129,"sku":"647379793296","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Less_Than_Jake-Hello_Rockview.jpg?v=1793727103","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/less-than-jake-hello-rockview","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
