Screeching Weasel es una banda de punk rock formada en Chicago, Illinois, en el año 1986 por Ben Weasel y John Jughead. La banda, tras varias rupturas, anunció en 2004 su retirada después de lanzar 11 álbumes de estudio en su carrera.
Se les considera los precursores del punk pop que volvió a gozar del auge a comienzos de la década de los 90, especialmente en California. Algunas bandas que protagonizaron ese auge como Green Day y blink-182, y otras como The All-American Rejects, citan a Screeching entre sus influencias principales.
¡Cuatro años de duro trabajo!Este mes de mayo cumplimos cuatro años al aire. Seguimos trabajando en la difusión de este maravilloso instrumento, ¡gracias por participar en nuestra historia!

*** ["Nightbreed"]
[ B / G / E ] w/ Lead Riff A x4
[Verse]: BG This used to be a place where we could walk the streets AE Unrestricted by imaginary fears BG Things didn't seem to be so complicated then AE Til you polluted everything that we had here BG Our little secret was exposed for all its worth AE Stripped of everything that made it good and then BG We were forced out of the world that we created AE And expected to move on and start again
[Chorus]: BDGE We live here today BDGE We live here always always BDGE We live here today BDGE We live here always always
[ B / G / E ] w/ Lead Riff A x2
[Repeat Verse]: The money moved right in and sucked the life right out So the privileged could sit back and enjoy The things that made this place what it was before you came here Were the first things you decided to destroy We walk your streets late at night while you're asleep Creeping from the sewers oozing from the cracks We are the blood that pumps the heart you call your home And any day we're gonna come to take it back
[Repeat Chorus]
BD We live here, we live here, we live here, we live here GE We live here, we live here BD We live here, we live here, we live here, we live here GE We live here, we live here
[Repeat Chorus, End on B]
