Formed in Chicago in 1986, Screeching Weasel has weathered break-ups, break-downs, re-formations, changing labels, more break-ups, and more than their fair share of ridicule. Displaying a true "fuck you" attitude, the band, or more accurately, lead singer Ben Weasel, has told it like it is for the better part of two decades. The band’s success has not been based on attitude alone. Since day one Screeching Weasel has displayed a masterful knack for writing some of the catchiest pop-punk tunes known to punk-kind! With a hearty catalog behind them, we thought it only proper to produce a greatest hits of sorts, pulling songs from every era of the band’s career. What would we call it? Weasel Mania. The packaging is filled with images from throughout the band’s career, along with stories from band members, and fans. For the long-time fan this will be standard issue, for the person who’s heard of Screeching Weasel, but has been intimidated by their copious catalog, Weasel Mania will be an introduction to the band’s work.
