===Vinnie Fiorello's departure, ''Silver Linings'' and ''Uncharted'' (2018–present)=== [[File:Top Cats 2019-04-11 - Less Than Jake (47570104242).jpg|thumb|right|Less Than Jake performing in 2019]] On October 24, 2018, Fiorello stated that, while he would remain a member of Less Than Jake, he would no longer be touring with the band.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/8421631311/posts/10156184733601312/ |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/8421631311/10156184733601312 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=Less Than Jake|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2020-01-24}}{{cbignore}}</ref> On October 26, following Fiorello's announcement, the band announced that former Teen Idols drummer Matt Yonker would be the touring drummer moving onwards.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/lessthanjake/posts/10156187866751312 |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/8421631311/10156187866751312 |archive-date=2022-02-26 |url-access=limited|title=Less Than Jake|website=www.facebook.com|language=en|access-date=2019-02-10}}{{cbignore}}</ref> Yonker subsequently joined the band on a full-time basis, having worked with the band previously in a number of behind-the-scenes capacities. Roger Lima noted: "It was a fairly smooth transition having long time friend and LTJ workhorse Matt Yonker jump on the drum kit late in 2018. He had done merch, guitar tech, stage, and more recently, live sound and tour managing and management for us! So we had some restructuring to do."<ref name="BrookylnVegan">{{cite web|url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/less-than-jake-talk-new-album-influences-favorite-new-bands-ska-against-racism-more/|title=Less Than Jake talk new album, influences, favorite new bands, Ska Against Racism & more |work= [[Brooklyn Vegan]]|date=27 October 2020 |access-date=October 28, 2020}}</ref> In October 2020, Lima reflected on Fiorello's departure: "He was the primary lyricist for the band, and it took a bit of refocusing of creative juices as the rest of us took on that role as part of the songwriting, absolutely. Vinnie was becoming tired of life on the road and wanted to spend more time with his daughter. No bad feelings, I am just happy we got to where we got and I'm ready to pick up the torch and continue forward on this crazy path."<ref name="BrookylnVegan"/> Fiorello has since joined a new supergroup The Inevitables with other colleagues from other ska/punk bands.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.brooklynvegan.com/stream-ska-punk-supergroup-the-inevitables-less-than-jake-big-d-interrupters-debut-lp/|title=Stream ska-punk supergroup, The Inevitables, new LP|work= [[Brooklyn Vegan]]|date=29 October 2020 |access-date=November 17, 2020}}</ref> In an email to fan club members, the title of their next album was announced to be ''[[Silver Linings]]''.
