Less Than Jake Announce New EP, 'Uncharted', Release New Song "Sunny Side"

Less Than Jake has announced that they will be releasing a brand new EP, titled Uncharted, on November 15th, 2024 via Pure Noise Records. Along with the EP announcement comes a brand new single and music video, titled “Sunny Side”, which you can view below.

In a press release announcing the EP, vocalist/guitarist Chris DeMakes stated the following:

“Man, the main riff in drop D has been around forever. I wrote that back when we were demoing for the Anthem record. It just never felt right, and was shelved. I never forgot about the idea. This time, Roger wrote the choruses, and I came up with the U2 stadium rock guitar bridge. Matt found the drum feel and groove that I was searching for all those years earlier, and the brass added a horn hook over the big guitar riff - one that rivals any of their catchiest parts. I can’t wait to play this one live.”

Bassis/vocalist Roger Lima continued:

“LTJ has messed with the slow and heavy vibe on a few songs, but I feel like we finally got it right with ‘Sunny Side’. Between the grooves, the changes, the horns and the lyrics, we are pumping this one on all cylinders."

“’Sunny Side’ is like a reminder to actively make an effort to live in the present. Move past your old haunts and be the absolute best version of you that you can.”

They will be performing two Northern California shows this month at Sacramento’s Ace of Spades on October 14th, and Santa Cruz’s Catalyst on October 15th.
