>> Me First & The Gimme Gimmes

With an all-star line-up including members of Lagwagon and NOFX, Me First and the Gimme Gimmes creates tounge-in-cheek covers of '60s easy listening standards such as John Denver's "Country Roads" and Barry Manilow's "Mandy." Me First puts a humoursly punk slant on some of rock's least rocking songs, taking the "punk it up" attitude to its ridiculous extreme. While flawlessly translated into a punk format, the band's sound is based more on novelty than on innovation.
