Screeching Weasel have announced that they will be releasing their first studio album in over 10 years on March 15, 2011 through Fat Wreck Chords.
The album is titled "First World Manifesto", and is being produced by Mike Kennerty of All American Rejects.
The band's front man Ben Weasel had the following to say:
"I had a ton of songs lying around that I'd written in the past decade but never recorded. A heck of a lot of them were top-notch jingles that would've been perfect for a Screeching Weasel album, had Screeching Weasel actually existed at that point. We didn't, so they were relegated to the old tape pile and mostly forgotten. When Screeching Weasel got back together for the 11th time, I started polishing up those songs and writing a bunch of new ones. We did a quick demo last summer and sent it off to a couple labels but it was almost a foregone conclusion that if Fat wanted us back we'd be there with bells on. And so it came to pass: Fat Mike texted me the day after we sent the demos saying "Jolly good stuff, mate!" and we were off to the races. Joy to the world!"
