Screeching Weasel has announced a 30th Anniversary reissue of their 1993 LP Anthem For A New Tomorrow. The iconic pop-punk record has been out of print for over a decade, having last been repressed by Recess Records in 2012. The new reissue was remixed by Mike Kennerty, who produced the last four SW albums.

The CD version, which features four bonus tracks, is available to pre-order here. Italy’s Striped Music is pressing the record on pink vinyl (limited to 500 copies). All copies come with a poster and CD. You can pre-order that here. Recess Records will have orange, blue, and green color variants available in the US soon.

This incarnation of Screeching Weasel boasts what many consider to be the band’s definitive lineup: Ben Weasel on guitar and vocals, Danny Vapid on bass, John “Jughead” Pierson on guitar, and Dan Panic on drums. This album’s tracklist is brimming with classic songs like “Falling Apart”, “Peter Brady”, “Every Night”, “Claire Monet” and, of course, the penultimate title track. When I think of Lookout! Records and 90’s pop-punk, Anthem For A New Tomorrow is one of the first records that comes to mind.

Screeching Weasel released their 14th studio album The Awful Disclosures of Screeching Weasel in 2022. Here‘s our review of that LP.

Strung Out last released Songs of Armor and Devotion through Fat Wreck Chords in 2019, after parting ways with longtime drummer Jordan Burns (who also recently announced a new project). His replacement RJ Shankle made his debut on that record and was a member of the band until early 2022.

DS News: Italy’s Wasei premieres new song “Punk Police on My Back”

Italian punks Wasei are not afraid of wearing their influences on their sleeve; the band’s new single “Punk Police on My Back” is proof of that.

Italian punks Wasei are not afraid of wearing their influences on their sleeve; the band’s new single “Punk Police on My Back” is proof of that. Most of the song’s lyrics are dedicated to name dropping their favorite bands: NOFX, Lagwagon, The Offspring… the usual suspects. Equally on the nose is the title of their upcoming album: Vulgar Misplay of Burkett.

The thing is, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with any of that! These guys have an awesome sound and this is a pretty catchy song. And I’ll go out on a limb and say a lot of 90’s punk fans can probably relate to Wasei’s unabashed nostalgia for records like Dookie, Smash, and Punk in Drublic.

Check out “Punk Police on My Back” below and be on the lookout for Vulgar Misplay of Burkett (still not sure exactly what that means) in early 2023.
