Vinnie confirms it: Less Than Jake leave Warner / Sire

Less Than Jake drummer / lyricist Vinnie confirmed for us that the band has left their major label home as we reported previously. Vinnie commented:

A few days ago it became "official" we left Sire and Warner bros to go
it alone for the moment. A few months back we talked as a band and
decided to ask Warner to release us from our contract and the one last
record we owed them. It became obvious to me and everyone else that its
time to move on and in a new direction as band.

So cue the comments from the .net and .org crowds "they made a shitty
last record", "maybe they'll have more horns on the next record", "they
haven't done anything good since pezcore anyways", "they should have
played more ska", "maybe they'll find a label that promotes the record"
I've heard it and read it all before when we left Capitol records way
back when. Hell, I could go point by point and defend or agree with
everyone of the above statements but its not the right time to do that.
The time right now is to look at things with a fresh prespective, look
to the future- remember your history - move on. It seems obvious but
sometimes when you're reaching for the other shore you drown in the
middle somewhere.

Thanks to everyone involved in the last few years, that gave their time,
understanding and energy to less than jake.

The band released In with the Out Crowd last year. In the coming months they'll be playing a hometown charity show in Gainesville, touring Europe, visiting Brazil, and playing a US tour alongside Reel Big Fish, Streetlight Manifesto and Against All Authority.
