Screeching Weasel are a punk band from Chicago, Illinois. Formed in 1986 by frontman and future MAXIMUMROCKNROLL columnist Ben Weasel (aka Ben Foster) and John Jughead (aka John Pierson).
Through the years, the band went through many line-up changes, with Ben and John being the only constant members since the band's inception. Screeching Weasel officially broke up for (roughly) the third - and allegedly final - time on July 6, 2001.
The band did a few surprise shows between 2001-2009. Ben Weasel reformed the group in March 2009 with a new line-up, and without John Jughead.
