{"product_id":"less-than-jake-losing-streak","title":"Less Than Jake - Losing Streak","description":"\u003cp\u003eLess Than Jake's Losing Streak is the record that took the Gainesville band's horn-powered ska-punk to a major label and a much bigger audience.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReleased on Capitol in 1996, it landed right as third-wave ska was gathering momentum across American clubs and college radio. The band kept everything that made their early records fun, including breakneck tempos, gang vocals and a horn section that punches as hard as the guitars, while tightening the songwriting into short, sharp blasts built for sweaty basement shows. Sixteen tracks fly by at a sprint, and barely one outstays its welcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Automatic\" kicks things off at full speed, and \"Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts\" winks at the major label move with a title fans still shout along to. \"Shindo\" packs a big singalong chorus into a tiny running time, while \"Dopeman\" shows the band could ease off the tempo without losing any bite. The humor running through the lyrics keeps the mood buoyant even when the subject matter turns glum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThirty years on, Losing Streak remains a cornerstone of the ska-punk boom and a favorite in the band's catalog. On vinyl, those horn stabs and pogo-ready rhythms sound as fresh and scrappy as they did the first time around.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57352633680177,"sku":"600574218865","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2026\/7313\/files\/Less_Than_Jake-Losing_Streak.jpg?v=1793990117","url":"https:\/\/vinyl.com\/products\/less-than-jake-losing-streak","provider":"Vinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
