Screeching Weasel is an influential American punk rock band formed in Chicago in 1986. Known for their fast, melodic sound and irreverent, often sarcastic lyrics, they helped define the pop-punk style that later bands like Green Day and Blink-182 would popularize. Led for most of their history by vocalist Ben Weasel, the band blended classic Ramones-style punk with sharp humor and social commentary, earning a cult following and a lasting place in punk rock history.
