It's Here!
The Awful Disclosures of Screeching Weasel
The Awful Disclosures of Screeching Weasel is out and streaming everywhere and I’m well chuffed as my old pal Catsmeat Potter-Pirbright might say. Click HERE for streaming links. It’ll be up on our Bandcamp later this morning. And, as always, you can order CDs and merch at OUR SITE.
Thanks to everyone who supported us by buying vinyl, CDs and merch. Additional vinyl pressings are in the works but given pressing plant delays it may be a while. If you’re in Europe, good news: you can still order vinyl (and CDs) from Striped Music.
Whenever a new album comes out people always ask what my favorite song is. The real answer is there isn’t one, but for the sake of playing along, as of today it’s a four way tie: Any Minute Now, Just Another Fool, Pandora’s Eyes and Tell Me Your Lies. I wrote most of the songs specifically for the album but those four were the nucleus, if you will (and you should). The winter of ‘20-’21 was miserable in some ways, but I was as productive as I’ve ever been and I’m very happy with the results. I hope you are too.
I’ll be hosting a Facebook Live this afternoon to discuss the album so if you want to join in make sure to set up your FB notifications.
If you like the new album please hype it up on your socials and comment on and share our posts on Facebook and Instagram. We don’t have an advertising budget. The recording was funded by yours truly and while we were fortunate to have Striped and Rum Bar step up to press physical copies, this is a DIY effort that can’t succeed without word of mouth.
It’s fairly miraculous we’re still around and making records in spite of being persona non grata with the punk intelligentsia. So I’ll wind this up by saying thanks to my bandmates and friends Pierre, Mike Hunchback, Poutine, and Mike Kennerty. They’ve been good pals and their collective work ethic and professionalism have enabled me to enjoy playing music for the past eleven years. And thanks as well to the people who have busted ass to bring the album from a recording to an actual release, including, but not limited to, Riccardo, Kotton, Andy, Hayley Crusher, Andrea and Malibu Lou. They are the duct tape and bubblegum holding Awful Disclosures together.
