Screeching Weasel
Gotta Girlfriend
Album: Teen Punks In Heat
Genres: Punk
More infectiously catchy pop-punk from the masters of the genre -- with the Ramones gone, who can we count on for this stuff if not Screeching Weasel?

	"Gotta Girlfriend" is classic Screeching Weasel: Ramones-influenced guitar thrash, "wha-oh-oh-oh" vocals from Ben Weasel, and more hooks than your average tackle box. If there's a complaint about this, it's only that it sounds so much like everything else the band has done, it kind of blends in with their massive back catalog -- there's really nothing to distinguish "Gotta Girlfriend" from, say, "Kamala's Too Nice" or "Veronica Hates Me." Fans of the band will take that as high praise, though, and well they should -- "Gotta Girlfriend" will stick in your head as easily and pleasantly as any of its predecessors. If you hated the band before, this isn't going to change your mind, but if you're a fan or if you just enjoy the pop-punk sound, this is a sure-fire winner.
