Have Another Ball!

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date July 08, 2008
After the mediocre "Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah" and the slightly better "Love Their Country", I was starting to think that the Gimme Gimme's had lost their touch. I am happy to say that I was wrong because " Have Another Ball!" is a great CD. The only tracks that aren't good are the terrible "Sodomy" and the so-so "The Harder They Come". I only hope their next release is this good.

Love Their Country

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date October 17, 2006
Strictly a punk rock cover band, The Gimme Gimmies set their sites on the country music scene this time around. Funny thing is I hate country, but I love this album. Some songs I recognized, and others I sort of knew. Either way, the group has managed to find a way to make me appreciate country a little more, and will probably have the same effect on you. Now I've found myself tracking down the originals as well as the band's back catalog.

Have a Ball

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date May 27, 1997
...Me First has created a musical legacy far greater than the sum of the groups these guys fulltime in. I'm not a fan of cover versions(rare is the artist or band who can make a well known song more superior to the original that they make it their own) but, this band blows a fresh breeze through these tunes. Fun, fast, and,as someone mentioned earlier, clean. No melancholy here, just up-lifting, dynamic interpretations of classic songs; made even more classic("Me & Julio..." is awesome).
Quite simply the best damn cover band in the world!

Blow in the Wind

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date March 20, 2001
I love Me First and the Gimme Gimmes but this album was so incredibly fun. If you like cover bands that play some of the best in classic music, this is the CD for you.

Take a Break

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date July 01, 2003
...Me First take a break but don't give you a break from excellence on this disc of white on black musical intrepretation(hence the checkered floor on the album cover). Lovingly crafted covers of songs by black artists adorn this offering. Given their fun and up-beat treatment, they do punkingly(sic) justice to the originals("Save The Best For Last" is momentous for it's double homage).
Nothing compares to the best damn cover band in the world!

Are a Drag

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date May 18, 1999
I love to listen to this CD, but wish that the one song did not have the F-word.

Otherwise, great CD - very upbeat songs you'll know.

Ruin Jonny's Bar Mitzvah

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date October 19, 2004
If you like Me First and the Gimme Gimme's brand of rocked up cover songs, then you will like this album. It's a good sounding live recording complete with screw ups and the usual humurous inbetween song banter. A couple of the song selections aren't that great but I enjoy most of them. I'd rate it a definite buy if you dig the Gimme's.

Turn Japanese

by: Me First and the Gimme Gimmes

Release Date February 21, 2001
This is becoming my favorite frikkin band! Everyone that I have ever met likes "The Gimmes" except for the jerkiest of the jerks. Kids like them, friends like them, even friends of Charlie Brown like 'em. My mom likes them and people who normally listen to cr@ppy R&B even dig their gooves. Formed by members of well established punk bands like NOFX and the Bad Astronauts, this band is the self proclaimed "Greatest (cover) band in the world" and I agree. I celebrate their entire catalog from A to Zed. This particular album is the crown jewel of their collection because of it's unusually high cost. If you haven't heard these guys before I recommend Blow in the Wind, Take a Break, or Ruin Johhny's Bar Mitzfa. Save Turn Japanese for the crown jewel of your collection.
