Contributed by Josip, Posted by Warner Music Group

Chris of Less Than Jake revealed some label news in an interview with purerock.de. He was told that the new Less Than Jake album, "Anthem", will be released via Warner Bros Records in the USA. The band is says they appreciate Fat Mike and his label but they want the new album to be promoted "properly." Fat Wreck Chords may still distribute it in Europe. They will start recording the new album after they come home from their European Tour with a tentative release date of January/February 2003.

Editorial: Oh well… it was nice to see them on Fat, but if Josip's accurate, then I'm sure that after these years the band knows how do deal with labels without compromising what they want. I dont see this as a "freak out" issue (although I'm sure that comments box will fill up soon)…
