Losing Streak is the third album by ska punk band Less Than Jake and the band's first album with Capitol Records. The album was recorded at Criteria Studios in Miami, Florida and Mirror Image Studios in Gainesville, Florida, both with producer Howard Benson. Drums and bass were recorded at the former, while everything else was recorded at the latter. The album includes re-recordings of "Jen Doesn't Like Me Anymore" and "Johnny Quest Thinks We're Sellouts", both of which appeared on Pezcore. Losing Streak was re-released with Hello Rockview as a double album in 2000.
The album represents a slight departure from the raw sound characteristic of Pezcore and a turn toward the refined sound of a major record label release. This is likely more the result of being afforded a better production for this album than an artistic choice of lower fidelity for the previous album, however. Losing Streak maintains the band's punk element and social commentary on songs such as "9th at Pine", "Dopeman"...
