Weasel Mania, the Screeching Weasel collection, hits stores today. I'm pretty amazed that there are still people who care about the dysfunctional circus we called our band. Over a 14 year period, we recorded and released 10 studio albums, 6 EP's (I think...), 2 B-sides/outtakes anthologies, 1 cover of an entire Ramones album, and I don't know how many compilation tracks. We went through 8 bass players, 4 drummers and 3 guitarists. We toured the country several times, making a lot of friends and plenty of enemies along the way. And we broke up and re-formed 2 1/2 times.
Like our old friend Charlie used to say, it was the best of times and the worst of times, and I'm thrilled that Fat Wreck Chords has seen fit to chronicle our musical escapades for the masses.
If you're not familiar with the band, this CD is the best way to check us out. The CD is budget-priced and contains 34 songs spanning 12 years. You can buy it straight from the Screeching Weasel web site, or from Fat, Amazon.com, or Interpunk, or in fine stores everywhere.
