=== ''Losing Streak'' and ''Hello Rockview'' (1996–1999) ===
Shortly following the release of ''Pezcore'', the band was signed to [[Capitol Records]]. The group debuted on the label in 1996 with ''[[Losing Streak]]'', containing ska-punk songs. Following the 1997 Warped Tour, saxophonist Jessica Mills left the band to perform with [[Citizen Fish]]. Mills was replaced by ex-[[Slapstick (band)|Slapstick]] trombonist Pete Anna in January 1998 (trombonist Lars Nylander served as a fill-in during the fall of 1997). Around this time, [[Vinnie Fiorello]] also started his own record label, [[Fueled by Ramen]], with friend John Janick. During 1997 the band embarked on the Caffeine Nation Tour with the [[Descendents (band)|Descendents]], [[Guttermouth]], and Handsome; the Race Around Uranus Tour with [[Blink-182]] and [[Frenzal Rhomb]]; and the [[Warped Tour]].

In 1998, after participating in the Ska Against Racism Tour with such ska acts as [[the Toasters]] and [[Mustard Plug]], and the Warped Tour, the band released ''[[Hello Rockview]]''. The band spawned a minor college radio hit with "History of a Boring Town", which reached No.&nbsp;39 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks, despite not being released as a video single.<ref>AllMusic Charts: [{{AllMusic|class=artist|id=p198618|pure_url=yes}} Less Than Jake singles].
