Borders & Boundaries is the fourth studio album by ska punk band Less Than Jake. It was released October 24, 2000 on Fat Wreck Chords. The album was recorded at Grand Master Studios in Hollywood, CA, with producer Steve Kravac, and is the final studio album to feature saxophonist Derron Nuhfer and trombonist Pete Anna.
"We recorded a full length for [Capitol Records] while the whole company got replaced, fired, or re-arranged, and in the process the new president there gave us the option of staying or going and taking the record with us. [...] When we found out [...] about the possibility of our departure, there was only one label we wanted to go to and that was Fat. It was obvious to all of us that they were the perfect label for our band at that precise time."
The album's lone video single, "Gainesville Rock City," received airtime on MTV2, and has gone on to become one of the band's signature songs. "Look What Happened" received minor airplay on college radio stations. "Look What Happened" also appears on the band's next album, Anthem, in a re-recorded state. Between June and August 2001, the group performed on the Warped Tour.[4]
The album reached #103 in the Billboard charts.[5]
