A significant figure in American punk rock from the late '80s onward, Ben Weasel is best known as the founder, lead singer, and guitarist with the band Screeching Weasel, though he's also worked with other acts, recorded as a solo artist, and built a thriving second career as a writer. His first solo album, Fidatevi, is a bit more personal and soul-searching than most of Screeching Weasel's records. The title word has two meanings: trust in yourselves and trust in each other. Weasel has said that the lyrics on the album "Are based on experiences or insights gained by practicing secular sitting meditation, as well as ideas I came across and personalized through the study of the works of authors as diverse as Geshe Kelsang Gyatso, Henry David Thoreau, Jon Kabat-Zinn, Pema Chodron, Ralph Waldo Emerson and others". Keeping it in the extended Screeching Weasel/Lookout!/Panic Button family, Matt from Teen Idols played the drums, Dan from Screeching Weasel/Sludgeworth/Mopes/Methadones added guitar and bass and sang backing vocals, and Mass Giorgini produced. Fidatevi was recorded at Acme Studio in Chicago. Ben's incredible brand of punk rock songwriting is focused into this personal and positive album - more introspective than one might imagine. At the same time, it totally rocks in exactly the way fans would hope and expect it to.
