Punk Covers

Me First and the Gimme Gimmes is a punk rock cover band that formed in 1995. Drawn together by a mutual love of 1960s and 1970s music, the Gimme Gimmes work exclusively as a cover band. They have covered songs from such artists as Neil Diamond, Billy Joel, and John Denver. The band is composed of several very recognizable faces in the new-school punk rock scene, including Spike Slawson of the $wingin' Utter$, "Fat" Mike Burkett of NOFX, Chris Shiflett of Foo Fighters (and formerly No Use For A Name), and Joey Cape and Dave Raun of Lagwagon. They entered the studio on April 3, 2006 to work on their sixth album. It has since been announced the album will be titled Love Their Country, and it will be released on October 10, 2006. The website of Fat Wreck Chords, the band's label, previously mentioned that the theme of this album is country and western, and will include covers of tracks by Dixie Chicks, Garth Brooks, Hank Williams, Sr. and Johnny Cash. --from Wikipedia The Longest Time (Billy Joel cover) End Of The Road (Boys II Men cover) Wild World (Cat Stevens cover) Leaving On A Jet Plane (John Denver cover)
