Album Notes & Community Reviews

Less Than Jake's second full-length album marked their major label debut and solidified their status as leaders of the 90s ska-punk revival. 'Losing Streak' is packed with fast-paced, horn-driven anthems, cynical humor, and an underlying sense of youthful restlessness. The album's tight musicianship and memorable hooks made it a fan favorite and a crucial record for the third-wave ska scene.
