Screeching Weasel was a punk band from Chicago, Illinois. They formed in 1986, fronted by future Maximum RocknRoll columnist Ben Weasel (aka Ben Foster) and John Jughead (aka John Pierson). Through the years, the band went through many line-up changes up until their 2003 break-up. Members included renowned punk rock record producer Mass Giorgini on bass guitar, Dan Panic (born Dan Sullivan) on drums, and Danny Vapid (born Dan Schafer, currently in The Methadones and briefly Sludgeworth) on guitar and bass, depending on the band's necessity. Their lyrics reflected Weasel's "anti-everything" apolitical orientation set to music that was melodic and derivative of the Ramones.
