Screeching Weasel announce ‘First World Manifesto’

Screeching Weasel have announced that they will release a new album titled 'First World Manifesto' on March 14th through Fat Wreck Chords. The album will be produced by All-American Rejects' Mike Kennerty. Frontman Ben Weasel explained:
"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!"
Fat Wreck will also release more Screeching Weasel reissues, a Riverdales album and a Ben Weasel solo album in 2011.
