Less Than Jake and HEY-SMITH have released a split 12-inch EP titled Unity, issued through Pure Noise Records. Each band contributes three tracks to the record, according to New Noise Magazine, which reported the release on October 20, 2026.

Formats and availability

Unity is available on CD and in multiple vinyl colorways. New Noise Magazine says the formats can be bought through Pure Noise Records' official webstore. The report does not give a price, a track listing or individual vinyl color options, so those details are not covered here.

Two ska bands, one record

New Noise Magazine describes Less Than Jake as ska stalwarts and HEY-SMITH as a Japanese ska outfit. The EP pairs the two on one release, with the three-songs-each format a split record implies. The source does not say how the collaboration came about, whether the bands recorded together, or whether any tour is planned, and EILISH has not added anything beyond what was reported.

Listeners looking for the record should go to the label's webstore, where New Noise Magazine says the CD and vinyl editions are listed.
