“These Ones Are Bitter” is Ben Weasel’s second solo album and was originally released in 2007 on the man’s digital download only record label, Mendota Recording Company. I think it only now became available on CD thanks to Asian Man Records but I’m not sure.

Anyway, what you get here is a handful of top notch poppunk songs the way we are used to from Mr. Weasel, great melodies the way we are used to from Mr. Weasel and an urge to start tapping your feet the way we are used to from Mr. Weasel. So why not call it a Screeching Weasel album? Because he recorded this one with Alkaline Trio’s Dan Andriano and All American Rejects’ Mike Kennerty and Chris Gaylor… duh!
