SCREECHING WEASEL
Punk / Pop Punk
Screeching Weasel started in 1986, a few weeks after Ben Weasel saw the Ramones play. It’s really too bad that more bands today can’t boast such proper beginnings, because we could all use a little more “Hey Ho!†and a little less MySpace. Alas… Well, according to Ben, “Jughead and I got together and put together the songs I’d been working on for a year. We played to crowds of three and five people inside dingy bars owned by men of questionable reputation.†It’s far from the glamorous punk scene (I’m talking about “fashion-core†and “nu-emoâ€) that is so prevalent today. But that’s how it was done back then: music that was both dangerous and urgent made by kids who were genuine outcasts. Their punk rock smacked of sincerity, desperation, and provocation.
