Me First and the Gimmie Gimmies - Take a Break - LP
"Take a Break," the fourth studio album by the cover band Me First and the Gimme Gimmes, was released on July 1, 2003, through Fat Wreck Chords. Distinguished for transforming R&B classics into punk rock anthems, this album follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, "Blow in the Wind," by melding iconic punk and new wave riffs with the soulful melodies of R&B hits. Notable tracks include a punk-infused version of "Crazy," which integrates the riff from Black Flag's "Six Pack," "Save the Best for Last" featuring a nod to the Sex Pistols' "Pretty Vacant," and "I'll Be There" that begins with the unforgettable intro from the Cars' "Just What I Needed." This inventive fusion underscores the band's creative approach to reimagining and revitalizing classic tunes through a punk rock lens.
