Greased - Less Than Jake

Advantages: Completely insane, and shouldn't be allowed
Disadvantages: Very short, and not really value for money

There are some bands who should be locked up for their own safety. Not because they're that bad, but because they are having far too much fun doing what they do, and it's just not fair. I mean, if you're better looking than me (this covers a lot of people, but there you go), better musicians than me (this covers pretty much everyone), better singers than me (er, so does this), more talented songwriters than I am (same theory), earn more money than ...
...I need to say it?), then I want you to be unhappy. It's nothing personal, you understand, I just want to be seeing something negative, just to bring the balance a little way back in my favour. Florida based ska-punk band Less Than Jake, sadly, don't know about this theory of mine, and would probably stick two fingers up at it if they did. Actually, more like twenty-four fingers (six band members, two hands each, you know?) Which is more or less what ... Read review

Advantages: ska-punk
Disadvantages: price

There is no doubt that Grease is one of the most successful musical feature films of all time. Over the years many people have covered the songs sung by the cast, including John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John. This time it’s the talents of the ska-punkers from Gainesville, Less Than Jake to put their twist on the Grease songs. The songs that are covered are: 1. Summer Nights 2. You’re the one that I want 3. Look at me I’m Sandra ...
...School Dropout 8. We go Together The CD that I purchased is actually a repress of the original CD and can be bought in the UK for around £15 (as if) or from the States, online, for around $13 or £8. I would try to buy it online from the States, as £15 is quite expensive when the CD is only around 15 minutes long. The story about the record goes that Less Than Jake said they were going to do a Grease thing! Several years later they finish it, after ... Read review

An album to deffinately get you on your feet and moving. The punk cover of these songs really brings character back into it. One of a kind album, as no pre-releases have ever been done of a musical, and not a full album. Fantastic in the eyes of anyone. Watch out world, we have punk covers. ;]

Advantages: Brilliant Covers, Very Funny
Disadvantages: Too expensive for the short play time.

...Me I’m Sandra Dee 4. Greased Lightning 5. Hopelessly Devoted To You 6. Blue Moon 7. Beauty School Dropout 8. We Go Together My favourites have got to be We Go Together, "Greased Lighting" and "Summer Nights". The clapping in "Greased Lightning" is enough to make you clap along! "Greased Lightning" and Summer Nights add a true sense of Less Than Jake humour to the 70s tunes. "We Go Together" is hilarious and the lyrics and fun tune is going ...
...these classic tracks alive, and Greased Lighting sounds great in Ska-Punk! They pull this off whilst keeping the quality Ska-Punk style and adding some classic humour. If your new to Less Than Jake then I'd reccomend Hello Rockview or Borders and Boundaries. For any Less Than Jake fan however this is a must for the collection. ... Read review

Advantages: Awesome Covers
Disadvantages: Less Ska

...I'm Sandra Dee 4. Greased Lightning 5. Hopelessly Devoted To You 6. Blue Moon 7. Beauty School Dropout 8. We Go Together The album is quite short as it has been done in a punky/ska so most songs are around 1.30 - 3.0 minutes. Well worth the listen, plus its a nice cheap album. Its only a few squids, so if you got some extra pennies lying around I would definately recommend that you head down to your local record shop and purchase this fantastic ... Read review
