Losing Streak, Less Than Jake's second album, landed on Capitol on November 12, 1996, and the Gainesville ska punks didn't let a major-label deal wipe the grin off their faces. Producer Michael Rosen had them lay down drums and bass at Criteria Studios in Miami and everything else at Mirror Image Studios back home, and the result is fast, bratty and brassy, power-pop hooks colliding with a horn section that won't sit still.
Chris DeMakes on guitar and founding drummer and lyricist Vinnie Fiorello lead the charge, while Buddy Schaub's trombone and the saxophones of Jessica Mills and Derron Nuhfer blow over the top. They dusted off "Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore" and "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts" from Pezcore for a second go, and "Dopeman" and "Automatic" kept the skank going. It got as high as 18 on the Heatseekers chart.
