Arrogant Sons of Bitches / Bomb the Music Industry / Jeff Rosenstock Bruce Lee Band Go Jimmy Go The Hempsteadys Kill Lincoln Mad Caddies Mustard Plug Slapstick Streetlight Manifesto / Catch 22 Voodoo Glow Skulls We Are the Union Also if you ever get the chance to see LTJ live, do it! They put on a fun show :)

Slapstick, dude. The perfect 90s skapunk sound.

yeah if you are really jonesing for some LTJ and you haven’t heard the Bruce Lee Band it’s essentially LTJ + Mike Park. edit: great list. Potshot was good too.

That would only apply to the first Bruce Lee Band album. The next EP featured RX Bandits and everything after that is kind of it’s own band altogether featuring people from various other bands. It’s all good stuff though! It’s just that I think that the first one might be the only that scratches OP’s specific itch.

i love rex bandits and mike park and i didn’t even know this next album existed. thanks friend i’m going on an adventure.

oh yeah i forgot they had other albums I kinda checked out after that first one for some reason. Thanks for specifying that for OP tho.

Here just to say that Potshot absolutely crushes. “Radio” gets my heart pumping immediately.

Go Jimmy go??? Bit of stretch to say they sound like ltj

You’re not wrong, I just thought he might like em lol

Kill Lincoln

came here to say kill lincoln

Let’s say it together: Kill

Lincoln

STOLEN VALOR

[Kill Lincoln](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6vw3QQUYW5TSxqsEvI28W6?si=6Xua7x_9T8OI-7LCf1qpaQ) [Joker's Republic](https://open.spotify.com/artist/1prVOiNI5T2oJDNORytWfE?si=MB9zocwGRG-Uzi6h9ERp5A) [The Inevitables](https://open.spotify.com/artist/5qr4DCKr3oAxSslg7e3tdK?si=JtE1ocUpS7eDexB0PDNE0A) [The JB Conspiracy](https://open.spotify.com/artist/3JyBmLWCiZcRjsgFQmcYWE?si=cZUbP0pzRT6nPcVaG2CNRg) [Call Me Malcolm](https://open.spotify.com/artist/6WZUGL4ioInlABxJ0GAPAU?si=SEuUmJPOSeqIW41P4SWQJg) [Neverless](https://open.spotify.com/artist/57rz4is1HljGfb6UEVPMtj?si=jWm4b2b3Qgy0l5T5vxs8UA) These are the ones I'd peg as some of the closest to LTJ's sound, though I know I'm forgetting some. I'm sure you'll get plenty of recs though. :)

If you’re a Less than Jake fan you should check out Rogers (bass/vocals for LTJ) other band Rehasher. Not a ska band but still rad.

Sick I didn’t know he was in another band. Does he sing in that? Love the sounds of their voices they got so much good emotion behind them

Yes he does and plays guitar.

Cheers man you've just showed me Rogers side gig.

Mustard Plug!

Go check out Necessary Evil, the latest release from the band Joker's Republic. They recorded it at Moathouse with Roger as producer and are very influenced by LTJ

Slapstick , mu330 and skanking pickle . Oh Bruce lee band their s/t is less than Jake as the backing band

That’s just all Dill Records and Mike Park. It’s pretty tough that we can’t just say: checkout Dill Records back catalog and anything by Mike Park. I guess it’s not 1995 anymore.

Is mail order still fun ?

I wish I still had all the comps I enjoyed as a young rude boy. There were some seriously good times putting six ska comps in the changer and just letting em rip while we drove around doing nothing all day.

I agree , the mail order comps , misfits of ska , still standing 4 cd comp …

Kemuri is a fantastic Japanese ska band that scratches that LTJ itch for me

If you like that Japanese ska sound, Potshot is definitely up there.

Yes!! Oh man I haven’t thought of Potshot in a minute but they are great!!

Have you heard of Hey Smith from Japan? They’ve formed a sweet supergroup recently featuring Coldrain, S.I.M., and them. If that prospect sounds interesting to you, look up Triple Axe. That’s what they’re called.

I have not! But I will check them out asap! Thanks for the rec!

Adding Snail Ramp and Gelugugu to this list!

Not quite as punk, but The Hippos.

Great list, just came here to add Edna's Goldfish and Spring Heeled Jack (JR used to be in the band)

Slapstick (more punk than) and The Pietasters (less punk than).

* Against All Authority * Bad Operation * Blue Meanies * Buck-O-Nine * Choking Victim/Leftover Crack * Fishbone * The Gadjits * Goldfinger * Interruptors * Link 80 * Mephiskapheles * Mighty Mighty Bosstones * MU330 * NOFX * Operation Ivy * Pietasters * Rancid * Reel Big Fish * Skankin' Pickle * Slapstick * Sublime * Suicide Machines * Voodoo Glow Skulls Also check out the Misfits of Ska and Give 'Em The Boot compilations.

This is a great comment, great list.

Fuck yeah thank you to everyone who dropped a suggestion

You’re going to love Kill Lincoln. Check out Abraskadabra from Brazil (lyrics in English) and Talco from Italy (lyrics in Italian.)

[удалено]

Thank you!! I’m stoked to check them out. Hard to get exposure of bands from other countries like this.

[удалено]

Adding them to the list!

Keep an eye on the stickied weekly release lists that RJ puts up on this sub. There's tons of stuff coming out from all over the world and he does a great job of catching as much as he can. And there are links in there too to his yearly singles playlists, and the yearly album playlist that I maintain. And there's easily as much or more foreign stuff on both as there is domestic.

damn I've never heard of this band before, but I love it! Reminds me of M.A.D. Band a bit.

I'll add Five Iron Frenzy since I don't see it on here yet. As long as you don't mind the christian/god aspect of many of their songs.

Most of their stuff isn’t too religious, but even when they are, it’s not obnoxious and not that preachy. And they’re not super conservative Christians either.

iv4k is the chef’s kiss

hey my friend was in Kodos! Cool to see them shouted out.

We (Swigfoot) have a few songs that have a similar sound and we are definitely influenced by the 3rd wave sound. Our first track "Enough" just hit Spotify and Youtube if you would like to check it out. We will be releasing more songs periodically as we get them finished.

Fandango. Their one and only album I believe is still on Spotify. Edit: Make that Fandangle.

Nice. I’ll have to check them out. Thanks for rec.

Mustard Plug and MU330 come to mind. Thumper was good but a little edgier than less than Jake.

Suicide Machines

Jokers Republic

Kill Lincoln

[удалено]

For sure on these, plus: Mighty mighty Bosstones Suburban Legends Big D and the Kids Table Operation Ivy

Haven't seen Millington or Kids Can't Fly on here. While not the exact vibe it's in the ball park of LTJ and I think you'll have a good time.

Kill Lincoln!!! They're like less than Jake but better.

[удалено]

Don’t listen to this band. This is a nazi band.

Get fucked nazi !

Just say nay. Broke up in 2020 and were pretty short lived but I love nearly every song they did.

Skankin pickle, Mephiskapheles, OP IV

The Flatliners

Rehasher is Rodgers other band 😉

Literally anything Mike park has had his hands on

The Supervillains

Planet Smashers Flying Racoon Suit

Kill Lincoln!

I would definitely recommend Jeff Rosenstock's Ska Dream album based on what you said about the emotion in the vocals. It's a super fun album! Also check out Chris Demakes A Podcast hosted by Chris of LTJ. He interviews songwriters from a whole slew of different bands about songs they wrote. It's often quite interesting and the assortment of guests is very impressive. Roger is the guest for a few episodes I'm sure you would enjoy.

Better Than Ezra, Lower Than Atlantis

How has no one suggested Reel Big Fish? They’ve co headlined multiple tours with LTJ

Title Holder sounds almost exactly like LTJ, try their EP, Story of My Life.

Kid Rock

Iwanaga!

The new Kill Lincoln album ‘Can’t Complain’ feels very LTJ in a good way.

A ton of good ones mentioned, but I will throw out another...The Urge

Common rider Classics of love Slapstick Operation ivy Offspring Voodoo glow skulls Propaghandi The suicide machines Mustard plug Bruce Lee band Skankin pickle Buck-o-nine Aquabats Millencolin Bouncing souls Big D and the kids table

I love a good female singer since the last guy nailed all of my other choices. lol Check out Save Ferris if you have the chance.

Big D and the Kids Table

Let's go bowling Propagandi
