AVAILABILITY.
GRAMMY AWARD winning Weezer is an American rock band formed in Los
Angeles, California, in 1992.
U.S.
guitar pop artisans from Los Angeles, California, USA, Weezer
originally was comprised of Rivers Cuomo, Brian Bell, Matt Sharp (later
replaced by Mikey Welsh), and Patrick Wilson. Cuomo grew up in rural
Connecticut before deciding to move to Los Angeles at the age of 18 to
form a band. It was too little immediate success, but tortured by the
sundering of a relationship, he began to write his own songs.
Bell first learned guitar in Tennessee by playing along
to television shows, such as Hee Haw, picking on a ukulele his
grandmother won at a bingo game. Sharp brought the unlikely influences
of Talk Talk and Gary Numan to the bass player's role.
Wilson was introduced to the other members via fellow Buffalo citizen
Pat Fin (of Winkler). The four protagonists had met as strangers who
found themselves abroad in Los Angeles, and decided to form a band
together. The official date of formation was 14 February 1992, signing
to DGC Records in June of the following year.

On
the back of offbeat singles, "Undone - The Sweater Song" and
"Buddy Holly" (a tale of high school prom rejection featuring
a memorable Happy Days pastiche video), and seven months' touring their
native country, their self-titled debut album, produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars and Chris Shaw in New York, went on to sell nearly a million
copies.
Their preference for goofy garage aesthetics soon
distinguished them, and, with fuzzboxes and falsetto harmonies (from
Sharp) to the fore, comparisons to
They Might Be Giants hardly
delineated their musical compass, despite helping to pinpoint their
humor. The participants, meanwhile, remained awestruck at the depth of
their appeal: "We've sold all these albums when, honestly speaking,
we're a super straight-ahead American guitar garage rock band."

The title of their 1996 album infuriated the security
company Pinkerton Service, and they issued legal proceedings shortly
after its release. Wilson and Sharp also recorded with the Rentals; the
latter left Weezer in 1998 to concentrate on this new outfit. The third collection, "The Green Album",
was a sparkling return to the infectious heavy pop of their debut.
"Don't Let Go," "Photograph" and "Hash
Pipe" all follow each other on the album, a glorious opening suite
of power chord heaven.
In 2005, they performed at Lollapalooza along with artists such as
Billy Idol,
CAKE,
Dashboard Confessional,
Hard-Fi,
The Black
Keys,
Arcade Fire,
Death Cab for
Cutie,
Drive-By Truckers,
Kasabian,
Tegan
and Sara, The Killers,
and Widespread
Panic.
On May 29, 2018, Weezer released a cover of
Toto's song, "Africa". The song
reached number one on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart in August 2018,
becoming the band's first number-one single since "Pork and Beans" in 2008.
"Africa" eventually peaked at No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The members of Weezer have listed influence including
Kiss, Nirvana,
the Pixies,
Cheap Trick, Pavement,
Oasis, the
Smashing Pumpkins,
Green Day and Wax. Cuomo credited
the Beach Boys as a major influence,
specifically Pet Sounds; Bell described Weezer's sound as "Beach Boys with
Marshall stacks". The band members' worship for hard rock and heavy metal music
was the source of inspiration behind Van Weezer, including 1970s and 1980s bands
like Kiss, Black Sabbath,
Metallica,
and Van Halen.
Artists such as Fun., Pete Wentz,
Fall Out Boy,
Panic! at the
Disco, Blink-182,
Steve Lacy,
Charli XCX, Real Estate,
Dinosaur Pile-Up, Cymbals Eat Guitars,
DNCE, Ozma, Wavves, and the Fall of Troy cite Weezer as an influence.
Their discography includes 15 studio albums, two compilation
albums, one video album, nine extended plays, 37 singles and 40 music videos.
