Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Have Another Ball

Label: Fat Wreck Chords

There is always going to be a place in punk rock for a good ol’ cover version whether it’s serious or novelty.  So when you got a punk rock supergroup that includes members of NOFX, Swingin’ Utters, Foo Fighters and Lagwagon how can you fail?

Have another ball is the bands 7th studio album since their debut Have A Ball 10 years ago and is made of tracks taken from past 7”s and compilations.  Just like the previous albums its classic songs played faster and louder with distortion – just how a punk rock cover should be played.

If you buy this you know exactly what you’re buying & you know you’re going to love it.  There is nothing like listening to Me First And The Gimme Gimmes with mates & lots of beer – the ultimate drinking music.
