Editing Less Than Jake (section)

===''Borders and Boundaries'' (2000–2002)===

After recording what would be ''[[Borders & Boundaries]]'', the band opted to buy out its contract from the major label and release the album on [[Fat Wreck Chords]] instead.

In October 2000, the band released ''Borders & Boundaries'', and landed the opening spot on [[Bon Jovi]]'s North American [[Crush Tour|tour]]. While it was not as commercially successful as previous releases initially, the album contained singles "Look What Happened" (which received minor airplay on college stations) and the group's home-town anthem, "Gainesville Rock City" (which received some airtime on [[MTV2]]). Shortly after the album's recording, Derron Nuhfer left the band (going on to join Gunmoll and later Escape Grace), and Less Than Jake found a replacement in former [[Spring Heeled Jack U.S.A.|Spring Heeled Jack]] saxophonist, Pete Wasilewski. To avoid the confusion of having two Petes within the band, Pete Wasilewski was nicknamed JR (as in "Peter Junior").<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|url=http://www.lessthanjake.com/history/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20031016003315/http://www.lessthanjake.com/history/|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 16, 2003|title=Less Than Jake: History|date=October 16, 2003|access-date=July 25, 2019}}</ref> In 2001 the band took part in the Vans [[Warped Tour]],<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20011109075022/http://chartattack.com/damn/2001/08/2304.cfm "LIVE: Vans Warped 2001"]}}.

In 2002, Less Than Jake spent time touring with [[Bad Religion]] and [[Hot Water Music]] while spending most of the summer touring in Europe. Less Than Jake re-released its compilation album, ''Goodbye Blue and White'', which included various 7-inch releases spanning from 1996 to 2001, and provided a different track listing from the first pressing. The album was named in honor of the group's original tour van, with the liner notes having the band recounting memories of the van. To celebrate the band's 10th anniversary, ''Pezcore'' was re-released and the band's first four 7-inch releases, ''Smoke Spot'', ''Pez Kings'', ''Unglued'', and ''Rock-n-Roll Pizzeria'', were repressed and included in a limited edition Cereal Box (which also featured a T-shirt, bobblehead, and pin).
