About Weezer

Weezer formed in Los Angeles in February 1992 when Rivers Cuomo, a Connecticut-raised guitarist who had recently dropped out of a metal band called Avant Garde, moved west with bassist Matt Sharp, recruited Patrick Wilson (drums) and Jason Cropper (guitar), and began rehearsing in a rented house on Amherst Avenue in West LA. Brian Bell replaced Cropper before the recording of the debut album was complete. The four-piece signed to DGC Records in 1993, recorded the Blue Album with Ric Ocasek of the Cars producing at Electric Lady Studios in New York across August and September 1993, and released it in May 1994. The album's lead single 'Undone — The Sweater Song,' followed by 'Buddy Holly' (whose Spike Jonze-directed music video pastiching Happy Days became an MTV omnipresence and shipped on Microsoft Windows 95) and 'Say It Ain't So,' broke the band into the mainstream alternative-rock canon almost immediately. Pinkerton followed in September 1996 — a self-produced, lyrically raw, confessionally bruising record about Rivers Cuomo's time studying at Harvard that initially flopped commercially, was disowned by the band, and was rehabilitated across the late 1990s and early 2000s into one of the foundational documents of emo and a critical touchstone routinely cited as one of the greatest rock albums of the decade. Matt Sharp departed during the post-Pinkerton hiatus and was replaced briefly by Mikey Welsh, then permanently by Scott Shriner from 2001 onward. The Green Album landed in May 2001 — a tight, hook-forward power-pop record produced by Ric Ocasek built around 'Hash Pipe,' 'Island in the Sun,' and 'Photograph' that returned the band to the mainstream and platinum-certified within a year. Maladroit followed in May 2002, the Make Believe album with the hit 'Beverly Hills' in 2005, and the Red Album with 'Pork and Beans' in 2008. The 2009 Raditude with the Lil Wayne collaboration 'Can't Stop Partying,' the 2010 Hurley named after the Lost character on its cover, the 2014 Everything Will Be Alright in the End, the 2016 self-titled White Album, the 2017 Pacific Daydream, the 2019 Teal Album of all-covers material (including the viral 'Africa' Toto cover), the 2019 Black Album, the 2021 chamber-pop OK Human, and the 2021 metal-pastiche Van Weezer extended the catalogue. The SZNZ project across 2022 released four EPs — Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter — each timed to its corresponding season and forming a 26-song concept cycle across the year. Voyage to the Blue Planet followed in 2024 and continued the catalogue expansion through 2025 and into 2026. Across the full run Weezer have sold north of 35 million records worldwide, charted ten albums in the US top ten, headlined every major North American festival from Coachella to Lollapalooza to Austin City Limits, and maintained the Cuomo-Wilson-Bell-Shriner lineup unchanged since 2001 — making them one of the longest-stable rock band lineups of the past quarter-century. They have not announced retirement and continue to tour and record actively.
