Song Of The Day - August 18, 2008

We interrupt Olympics central here at Stars and Slights to bring you a song totally unrelated to the Beijing games. "Does the Lion City Still Roar?" is the first single and third track off of Less Than Jake's newest album, entitled GNV FLA. The album name was selected to honor LTJ's roots in Gainesville, Fl where singer and guitarist Chris Demakes and drummer Vinnie Fiorello attended the University of Florida. The duo began writing songs together and quickly realized that they needed a bassist. Before finding one, however, they wanted to create a band name. Fiorello's dog, Jake, was treated like a king in his household and everything was thought to be "Less Than Jake."
