Chicagos Screeching Weasel generally have a polarizing effect on most punk fans — either you love their amateurish, tuneful Ramones imitation and singer/guitarist Ben Weasels smartass-suburbanite, often pop culture-oriented lyrics, or you hate them. Over the course of the bands career, which lasted for more than a decade and saw several breakups and numerous personnel changes, Weasel (in spite of occasional nitpicking from critics) remained true to his staunch D.I.Y. indie ethics, as befits a former columnist for the defiantly punk zine Maximumrocknroll.
Screeching Weasel were formed in 1986 by vocalist Ben Foster, who performed under the name Ben Weasel, after seeing a Ramones show. Early members included guitarist John Jughead and drummer Steve Cheese; after Weasel gave up trying to play bass, Vinnie Bovine was added on that instrument. The band recorded its self-titled debut album in 1987 for Underdog Records, of which only about 3,000 copies were pressed. Vinnie Bovines personal problems got him kicked out of the band, and ex-Ozzfish Experience guitarist Warren Fish Ozzfish replaced him on bass. After playing some gigs in California, Screeching Weasel joined the fledgling Roadkill label, with Jughead and Weasel taking a hand in its operations, and released Boogada Boogadaboogada! in 1989.
