Vinnie Fiorello (born June 24, 1976) is an American drummer, lyricist and founding member of the ska punk band Less Than Jake. As a child, Vinnie's family owned a dog named Jake who was "treated like a king" according to the band's website FAQ page. As a result, everything in the house became "Less Than Jake", spawning the band's name. Vinnie is known to be a collector of Pez dispensers, along with Less Than Jake bandmate Roger Manganelli. Vinnie grew up in New Jersey, having moved to Gainesville, FL at the age of 16. As a result, almost every Less Than Jake album features a reference to New Jersey. Though his drumming style does not reflect it, Vinnie was influenced by Dave Lombardo of Slayer. It was his idea to record two Slayer covers ("Evil Has No Boundaries" and "The Antichrist") and release a 7". These two covers are found on rarities collection "Goodbye Blue and White".
