Spike And The Gimme Gimmes are spreading holiday cheer in true Gimmes fashion! The band is hitting the road this winter to celebrate the release of their brand-new single, “All I Want For Christmas Is You.”

The track, out on November 21st on Fat Wreck Chords, will be available as a limited-edition red flexi disc, tucked inside a spectacular 2026 calendar and available digitally guaranteed to keep fans in the ho-ho-ho spirit all year long.

Front and center is Spike Slawson on lead vocals, the heart and soul of The Gimmes. With his sweet pipes, multilingual charm, and unmatched flair, Spike is a ukulele-playing, dancing force of nature who keeps the party rolling wherever he goes.

Holding down the low end is CJ Ramone on bass and backing vocals. A graduate with honors from Rock and Roll High School, CJ brings the perfect balance of power and precision. With decades of punk pedigree, he’s a living masterclass in low-end theory and punk pocket groove.

On guitar is John Reis (a.k.a. Swami), the legendary figure behind Rocket From The Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, and Hot Snakes. A mad scientist of riffs and godfather of San Diego punk rock, Reis brings a fiery edge and unstoppable energy to the holiday mix.

Behind the kit sits Andrew “Pinch” Pinching, best known for his work with The Damned and English Dogs. Hailing from sleepy Grantham-town, Pinch is a street-fighting, drum-beating, Thatcher-hating rhythmist whose explosive style kept The Damned in his grasp for two decades and he hasn’t slowed down since.

Completing the lineup is Jake Kiley of Strung Out fame. Beneath his charming smile lies a wild jungle cat of a guitarist, ready to pounce with ferocious intensity when armed with his weapon of choice: a hot pink Jackson. RRRAWRRR!

This powerhouse lineup has been the Gimmes’ consistent supergroup formation for the past four years, bringing together some of punk’s most celebrated players into one unstoppable force of fun, fury, and melody.

For the upcoming UK dates, Dan Goatham from Snuff will be stepping in on guitar for Reis, ensuring the sleigh stays loud and the spirit stays strong.

So grab your calendars, spin that flexi disc, and join Spike And The Gimme Gimmes as they make this winter a season to remember, loud, proud, and full of punk rock cheer.
