Give 'Em All a Big Fat Lip is the debut album from The Whigs. It was originally released independently and re-released by ATO Records after they signed the group.

In a review for AllMusic, Hal Horowitz wrote: “Despite the rather aggressive title and cover art, there are more midtempo ballads than rockers, and the tone of the disc falls on the melancholy side. The sound is full without being slick.” ^[1]
