Punk's premier cover artists, Me First And The Gimme Gimmes are a conglomerate of some of the most recognizable faces in new-school punk. Drawn together by a mutual love of '60s and '70s music, The Gimme Gimmes work exclusively as a cover band. Their repertoire include songs from such acts as Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, and John Denver.
With an ever-changing cast of characters, singer Spike Slawson (of The Swingin' Utters) originally formed The Gimme Gimmes in 1995, drawing on the talents of Nofx bassist Fat Mike, Lagwagon singer/guitarist Joey Cape, No Use For A Name guitarist Chris Shiflett (aka Jackson), and Lagwagon drummer Dave Raun. Never originally aiming to put out a record, the band made appearances on punk compilation albums through much of the year. In 1997, however, they began releasing singles named after the singer they had covered. They produced Billy, Diamond, Bob, Denver, and Barry in this manner.
