Less Than Jake will be turning their latest studio album See The Light into four live sets. On February 16 2015, to celebrate their upcoming tour across the US, UK and Europe, they will be releasing each recording via high quality digital mp3 in four separate volumes.

Vinnie Fiorello added “None of these recordings are doctored in any way. We wanted to be archivists of a moment in time; not surgically reconstruct the recording after the fact”.
