The late night talk show circuit may feature a few celebrity interviews or comedy sketches and maybe even some games—but the real excitement comes from the showstopping musical performances. Bands and artists have the luxury of reaching an audience they may have never been put in front of otherwise (such as when my own mother […]

When Weezer released the cannoli-loaded visuals for “Thank God For Girls” last month, we mentioned that it likely wasn't the single's official video, and that's been proven true as the band has released the final SCANTRON-directed clip for the track today. The video features frontman Rivers Cuomo as an amoral preacher, enjoying gambling and women […]

With no record deal in place currently, Weezer are “on the loose and experimenting,” evident on their recent, highly interesting single, “Thank God For Girls,” and now on a brand new track called “Do You Wanna Get High?,” which feels very in line with mid-'90s Weezer—a quality many fans will surely love.

You can check out the SCANTRON-directed, lyric-like […]

In an attempt likely to appeal to Generation Y, Honda are using a TV spot that features a large family who appear to be bored on a road trip of some sort in a Pilot Elite. When a young boy in the back seat starts playing the melody to “Buddy Holly”—a Weezer classic from 1994's […]

Weezer Everything Will Be Alright In The End Reviewing Weezer albums has always been exceedingly difficult. It's easy to look back on the Blue Album and Pinkerton with the benefit of hindsight; when there are two decades of history and obsessive fandom there, it's easy to proclaim both albums as perfect, flawless, five-star classics. But […]

Since the release of the Blue Album in 1994, there have been three constants in life: death, taxes and RIVERS CUOMO’s almost superhuman ability to write infectious, quirky, intelligent pop songs.
