Weezer is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, CA in 1992, currently consisting of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, lead guitar), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (rhythm guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), and Scott Shriner (bass, backing vocals).  Weezer has sold 10 million albums in the U.S., and over 35 million records worldwide.  Their catalogue includes megahits “Buddy Holly,” “Undone (The Sweater Song),” “Say It Ain’t So,” “El Scorcho,” “Hash Pipe,” “Island In The Sun,” “Beverly Hills,” and “Pork and Beans”.  Weezer has won Grammys, MTV Video Music Awards, and more. 

Following massively acclaimed album releases in 2016 and 2017 (Weezer [The White Album] and Pacific Daydream, respectively), and two sold out tours with Panic! At the Disco (in 2016) and Pixies (in 2018), Weezer released a fan-inspired cover of Toto’s “Africa.”  The cover propelled the band back into the charts, giving Weezer their FIFTH #1, TENTH Top 5, and SIXTEENTH Top 10 at Alternative Radio, in addition to landing Top 5 on the Hot AC chart.   It has since gone Platinum. 

They surprise dropped a covers album at the start of 2019 -- Weezer (The Teal Album) -- which has been streamed a hundred million+ times.  In 2021, Weezer released two different but equally Weezer albums – OK Human, an orchestral pop album meditating on technology and disconnectedness, and Van Weezer, an homage to the band’s shared metal roots growing up.  OK Human’s first single, “All My Favorite Songs,” was one of the biggest rock hits of 2021.  In 2022, the band released SZNZ, a four EP project inspired by Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. In 2023, the band embarked on an incredible sold-out run across North America called the Indie Rock Road Trip hailed as one of the best tours of the summer.
