was replaced by guitarist, Trevor Jackson. A documentary on the band was in the works for several years, but was cancelled in 2012, with producers citing Weasel's lack of cooperation with production. Screeching Weasel announced in March 2017 that a new documentary was underway entitled My Right: The Screeching Weasel Story. They recorded and digitally released two singles on December 11, 2017, entitled "Christmas Eve" and "New Years Eve" and played several shows in 2018. They subsequently announced via their website that a new album was scheduled to be recorded in summer 2019 with a tour in 2020 to follow. On March 24, 2020, Screeching Weasel released their 13th album, Some Freaks of Atavism and on July 15, 2022, Screeching Weasel released their 14th album, The Awful Disclosures of Screeching Weasel with producer Mike Kennerty replacing Trevor Jackson as guitarist/backing vocalist. Both records were well-received by their fans and critics. The band remains active though tour plans have been postponed due to the worldwide Coronavirus outbreak. Ben Weasel has stated, "Screeching Weasel is never breaking up again. The band dies when I do." Musical style and legacy In addition to the Ramones, Ben Weasel credits bands such as Black Flag, D.O.A., The Dickies and Zero Boys for laying the groundwork for Screeching Weasel. Much like the Ramones, Screeching Weasel's common lyrical themes include girls and mental health problems (Weasel suffered from anxiety). While Weasel has been the sole writer of the majority of the band's catalogue, a number of songs credit Vapid, Jughead, or The Queers' frontman Joe King as co-writers. Many subsequent punk and pop punk bands who have experienced mainstream success cite Screeching Weasel as an influence. Blink-182 covered the band's song "The Girl Next Door" on their album Buddha, with Blink-182 guitarist Tom Delonge citing them as one of the biggest influences on his songwriting. Other influenced bands include Green Day (whose bassist Mike Dirnt previously played in Screeching Weasel), The All-American Rejects (whose guitarist Mike Kennerty produced First World Manifesto, Carnival of Schadenfreude, Baby Fat -Act I and Some Freaks of Atavism), New Found Glory, Eve 6, Bowling for Soup, fellow Chicago bands Rise Against, Fall Out Boy, Allister, and Alkaline Trio, and popular ska punk band Less Than Jake. Additionally, a number of independent punk bands such as The Apers, Bigwig, The Leftovers, The Manges, and The Unlovables cite Screeching Weasel as influential. Screeching Weasel
