Winepress were a Chicago pop-punk band, who's catchy, fun and bratty songs bore a strong Screeching Weasel (more HERE) influence. Of course without Mr. Weasel's belligerence and with an upbeat Happy Days-ish lyrical outlook, another point of comparison might be their slightly-more well-known contemporaries, Weston. The band only released two singles and a split e.p. with The Fighters before breaking up, leaving a now out-of-print compilation called Complete Recordings on Harmless Records (home of the band Walker - see HERE) to remember them by.
