SCREECHING WEASEL S/T 1st LP punk kbd ramones queers
Screeching Weasel may arguably be Chicago's best-known punk rock band. Some people love them, some hate them.
Underdog Records put out the bands first record which turned into a 27 song self-titled LP that was released in the fall of 1987 (many of the songs were re-recorded versions of tunes from their demo). The record received good reviews and sold out of its initial 1000 record pressing in about 3 months. It should be noted to anyone who had not heard Screeching Weasel's first album that this is not the Screeching Weasel you know and love (or hate). The Ramones-influence that people quickly attach to Screeching Weasel is hardly present. Instead, the songs bear the touch of the popular acts of the day the Ben and Jughead (who co-wrote many of the early songs) were listening to at the time. Bands like Dead Kennedys, MDC, Circle Jerks, Minor Threat, and Adrenalin OD are some of the groups Ben credits for influencing Screeching Weasel's early records. Lyrically, the band was unapologetically obnoxious, as songs like "Wanna Die", "Jockpunk", and "Society" (which contains the height of the lyrical obnoxiousness with lines like "America, love it or leave/I would if I could but I don't have any money") would illustrate.
