Screeching Weasel Song Lyrics

Screeching Weasel is a Chicago punk rock band formed in 1986 by Ben Weasel (Ben Foster) that became one of the most influential pop-punk acts of the 1990s. Their melodic, Ramones-inspired sound on albums like "My Brain Hurts" and "Wiggle" helped bridge hardcore punk's aggression with catchy hooks, directly influencing the pop-punk explosion that followed. Songs like "My Brain Hurts" and "The Science of Myth" showcased their ability to blend snotty attitude with infectious melodies, while Ben Weasel's neurotic lyrics about relationships and social anxiety resonated with a generation of misfits. Despite multiple breakups and lineup changes, their prolific output of 55 albums established them as godfathers of the Midwest punk scene and key architects of modern pop-punk.
