Screeching Weasel

[Weezerfan_returns]

I know many people consider them to be more of a pop punk band, but I don't think they're that poppy. Besides, the pop punk forums talk about Taking Back Sunday... So i'm keeping this thread in here.

Years of Existance-1986- Early 2000's (2001?)

Screeching Weasel was a Chicago punk band who formed in the 80's, and continued to perform until the early 2000's. Formerly on Lookout! Records, in 2005, Ben Weasel put together Weasel Mania, a 30-some song greatest hits collection on Fat Wreck Chords. Screeching Weasel was known for having fast, melodic punk, with a sound similar to the Ramones.

Amazing band. My favorite album is Teen Punks In Heat.

[Weezerfan_returns]

I wish i could've seen them live :(

[sketchyjoe]

They're decent pop-punk.

[Anti-Prefix]

They're punk, too. Really good band, one of my old favorites. Boogada boogadaboogada, Emo, and My Brain Hurts are their best.

[RetiredAt21]

Pretty fun band. I like them.

[Flagjacket]

They rule times ten.

[AIRIC]

I downloaded like 6 albums last night.

[Mute Print]

They're pretty cool. I like 'em.

[Rise Me Up]

They rule times ten.

Couldn't have said it better.

[Anarcho Poser]

I have nine of their albums. They're pretty good, but I don't find myself listening to them that often for some reason.

[DaveToopes]

I have Boogadaboogadaboogada and like it a lot.

[weezerfan]

i have the fat wreck greatest hits thing, its great. I think they are much better than the queers, who sound somewhat similar.

[skateMASTERbater2]

You don't think they're poppy? :s

My Brain Hurts is their best

[sketchyjoe]

They're punk, too.
When did I say they weren't?

[POINTLESS5448]

i used to listen to them all the time.

[weezerfan]

I love the intro to i wanna be a homosexual. Those crappy guitar riffs rule

[wisconsinhooligan]

I dance naked in my room to slogans and nightbreed

[Drop The Baby]

i used to love them, now i find they can get a little dull after a while.

Still got some corking songs

[Henrik]

What I've heard is good. Now I'm just wondering which album to start out with????

[AIRIC]

Teen Punks In Heat

[username77]

I love them. They are so amazing.

[weezerfan]

What I've heard is good. Now I'm just wondering which album to start out with????
i'd just get Weasel Mania. It's a greatest hits thing with 30-some songs.

[Henrik]

but does it show the greatness of the band?

[CarrionBirds]

i love screeching weasel, im all about "bark like a dog"

its a super poppy album, but its really good and just fun

[Weezerfan_returns]

but does it show the greatness of the band?
I think it does. Its got like, 36 songs man! It's better than buying all of their albums. I personally don't think they're a good enough band to own more than two or three albums.

[Henrik]

Allright thanks alot.

[comptonassrobert]

"You don't have the balls to be a queer" is probably the greatest lyric line in history.

[Lazybassplr56]

I like em. I like em alot.

[Ghostfire3]

They're pretty cool. I haven't heard too much of their stuff though. I just found out they're from the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago which is exactly where I'm from.

[Flagjacket]

we skate

[Lazybassplr56]

Didn't Mike Dirnt play bass for them at a time?

[Flagjacket]

Yeah, on an EP I think.

[BCT]

i know that they used to play shows under different names for a little while beacuse the strated to hate all of their fans or something they had like ten different names this one kid i know has seen them like a million times at those shows they played a lot of covers and **** sometimes they would play some of their old i don't think they still do that but i wish i had seen them and i am going to try to find out what their other names are i can find the period on this keyboard

Lol. Yess.

Screeching Weasel rule. I love their old AND new stuff; Obviously, the former moreso than the latter.

Download Boogada Boogada Boogada right now. You'll be glad you did.

[AIRIC]

SW played an unannounced show that Mitch Clem missed and he was SO MAD.

Teen Punks In Heat is my favorite. It's their latest but still it's so good.

[Flagjacket]

Boogada3 is a straight up hardcore album though.

That's cool. I never met anyone who likes Teen Punks so much. Interesting.

[Oz Rembrandt]

I only have Boogadaboogadaboogada, but I love it. Hey Suburbia, I believe in UFO's and I hate Led Zeppelin are amoungst my favs.

[comptonassrobert]

Boogada3 is a straight up hardcore album though.

It has "Guest List" on it doesn't it? That's one of the poppiest punk songs ever.

[Flagjacket]

No, Guest List isn't on it.

[RandyfromPennywise]

I like the Weasel song Cool Kids. That's a nice song.
