Less Than Jake have released Another Hostage Situation, a B-side from their 2024 EP Uncharted.
“Another Hostage Situation is about my son and daughter,” explains frontman/guitarist Chris DeMakes. “At the time I wrote it, they were seven and six years old, respectively. It was inspired by morning time with them, before being sent off to school. Some days it was as smooth as silk, and other days, it was a full blown thunderstorm. Ya know, the joys of parenting little ones. The “hostage” was me, and the “situation” was the chaos of that particular morning. My kids are amazing, and the lyrics are as tongue in cheek as you can get.”
