Less Than Jake, Pepper

When: Thu., Feb. 23, 8 p.m. 2017

As ’90s fads go, third-wave ska has proved surprisingly durable. Back in the day, Less Than Jake got less attention than Sublime or the Mighty Mighty Bosstones, but the band has been solid, churning out tunes like “Johnny Quest Thinks We’re Sellouts,” and “Jen Doesn’t Like Me Anymore.” On the new EP See the Light, a soulful, energetic horn section remains Less Than Jake’s not-so-secret weapon, even as the band leavens its syncopated pop-punk with serious lyrics about standing up for human rights.
