Gimme Some, the sixth album from Stockholm trio Peter Bjorn and John, came out on 28 March 2011 on Cooking Vinyl, with Startime International handling America a day later. After the electronic layering of Living Thing, Peter Morén, Björn Yttling and John Eriksson stripped back down and went for the throat: short, bright pop-rock songs played with a scrappy, almost punk urgency, a long way from the breezy charm of 2006's "Young Folks".
"Breaker, Breaker", "Second Chance" and "Dig a Little Deeper" were the singles, and "Second Chance" found a second life as the opening theme of the sitcom 2 Broke Girls. The American tour had its own quirk: in a nod to the album's song "Down Like Me", every show came with free food from a caterer based in that night's city. The road took a toll, though, leaving Eriksson with a shoulder injury.
