 Best Damn Cover Band In The World pt 1... June 27, 2007
A. Brownlow (Dalhart,TEXAS)
...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!
The Gimmes Rock January 23, 2007
D. Helton (Michigan)
My family fell in love with their upbeat remakes of the oldies last summer. This CD is a great addition to our fun songs collections.
Great Stuff for the whole family May 27, 2006
Peniswrinkle (Cincinnati, Oh)
I love how Me First and the Gimme Gimmes put a punk rock twist on some good classic tunes. Whats more surprsing is that my mom and my step dad love them too. Scary huh? These guys are great, they make songs rock and more fun than they were before.
Me First and The Gimme Gimmes March 20, 2006
Barry A. Hester (Severn, Maryland)
Punk reworking of standard rock classics and show tunes is OUTANDING. The vocals and guitar work are great as is the sense of humor the boys put into the album Good stuff! Great for parties.
 Fun idea - Hilarious Song Selection February 1, 2006
Rhino in DC (David City, NE USA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
These guys surely did "Have A Ball" putting this recording together. The idea's a great one, and the song selection is so twisted that it either had to turn out GREAT or fail terribly. Luckily it is the former, and being a musician myself I would have loved to have been in the studio for these sessions. I'm sure it was a party start to finish! The only reason it didn't get a 4-star rating from me is the fact, that for me, it isn't something that would stay in the CD player for long periods of time. But it is a great idea carried out very well by what sounds like a bunch of fun lovin' guys!
