We don't need 12 steps to show us how weak we've become

"After, in his mind, the relative failure of Wiggle, Ben Weasel set out to write a proper follow up to the highly successful My Brain Hurts. What he came up with was to be the high point of the band's stint on Lookout! records, as well as an almost concept album about what it was like to be a punk in the mid-90's.



With his girlfriend providing him with a seemingly endless supply of song material regarding unhappy relationships, the punk scene around him showing a mix of solidarity and polarity that seems impossible to imagine if you weren't there, and a natural knack for love songs that the average subcultural guy could relate to, Ben Weasel hit all of this topics and more on the head with Anthem.



The overall simplicity of the musicianship allows the melodies to carry the songs, and the lyrics to take front seat. If you buy only one Screeching Weasel album, make it this one, and you too can find the Peter Brady inside of you."

A pop-punk staple

"this cd is a pop-punk staple that for me personally stands out to symbolize the early 1990's Lookout! Records era of greatness. no filler, just like most of those bands, PLUS guest vocal by FAT MIKE from NOFX! why NOT buy this album?"

Best SW CD

"I have been a Screeching Weasel fan for years and Anthem for a New Tomorrow is their best disk. Short, fast, and melodic punk songs with guest vocals from Fat Mike from NOFX and Joey Vindictive from the Vindictives to name a few. Ben Weasel and company know how to write punk songs with the best of them and this disk captures the guys at the top of their game. A modern classic!"
