This debut from the vintage indie supergroup Gutterball will be welcome by most of the fans of the various members' former bands; and with those outfits being the Dream Syndicate, the Long Ryders, the Silos, and House of Freaks, that's saying quite a bit. Give credit to Steve Wynn and Bryan Harvey, who fashion a consistent program here throughout the album's 12 cuts. Maybe not another Days of Wine and Roses, but a solid release all the same. ~ Stephen Cook, All Music Guide

Gutterball is a supergroup featuring college-radio all-stars Steve Wynn (vocals, guitar), Stephen McCarthy (guitar, vocals), Bryan Harvey (vocals, guitar), Johnny Hott (drums), and Bob Rupe (bass, vocals). Every member of Gutterball has a rock & roll resumé that would be recognizable to left-of-the-dial listeners. Wynn lead the neo-psychedelic band the Dream Syndicate, an integral part of Los Angeles' Paisley Underground, in the early '80s; McCarthy is from the roots rock act the Long Ryders; Harvey and Hott once comprised House of Freaks; and Rupe is from the Silos. Gutterball was formed when Wynn spent a four-day writing vacation in the early '90s with Harvey in Richmond, VA. After the group's fifth gig, they were signed to Elektra Records and toured with the Black Crowes. In 1993, Gutterball released their self-titled debut album. Much of the record was co-written by Wynn and Harvey. Wynn moved to New York City in 1994 and recorded another solo effort, Melting in the Dark. Weasel, the follow-up to Gutterball, was released in 1995; Harvey and Hott also split up House of Freaks that year. ~ Michael Sutton, All Music Guide
Gutterball is slang for a quasi-legal urban traffic maneuver in which a motorist who wishes to pass other motorists stopped at a red light moves into the far right lane (often a right-turn-only lane) and times his approach to the intersection so as to be able to suddenly accelerate past said stationary motorists when the light turns green.
Gutterballs is now defunct band that has morphed into Gweeter
It is also a sport in the water polo family. Played in the shallow end of a pool, the object is for one team member to hold a ball on the side of the pool for 5 consecutive seconds without the other team knocking the ball away.
Poker player Joe Stillman is comically labeled "Gutterball" Joe Stillman due to his appearance and poor moves at the table.
