1992
Los Angeles rock heroes WEEZER formed on Valentine‘s day 1992 and a month later,
on March 15th, they played their very first gig, in a small club in Hollywood, along with Dogstar, movie actor Keeanu Reeves‘s band.
BUDDY HOLLY

2025
Still smoking their hash pipe after 33 years and 15 albums
with 2021’s Van Weezer as the most recent one.
9 May 2021
Band: WEEZER
Active: 1992–1998, 2000–present
15 albums (so far)
Album: VAN WEEZER – 15th LP
Note 1: The album is dedicated to the late Eddie Van Halen
Note 2: Recordings started in 2019 and a release was planned
for a 15 May 2020 release, but postponed for a year, until next
month.
Released: 7 May 2021 – only 4 1/2 months after
their previous excellent album OK Human.
NME: “After the classical treatments of ‘OK Human’ gelled so well with Rivers Cuomo’s songwriting, the bull-snorting hellchords and squealing solos of ‘Van Weezer’ clash so
hard with his style that the retro metal elements often just feel like slapped-on gimmickry.
While heavy ‘80s rock riffs might often suit Weezer songs, Weezer songs – rarely strutting
battle-cries of sex, sacrifice and boulder-eating testosterone – are generally too sensitive,
smart and surf-friendly to carry them.” Score: 3/5.
Turn Up The Volume: Heavy guitar rock – the album is a tribute to the late Eddie Van Halen – with a poppy resonance. Works now and then, like on the 3 sickly sticky singles.
Singles: Hero / The End Of The Game / Beginning Of The End

19 January 2021
WEEZER has two albums ready to go public. VAN WEEZER and OK HUMAN. Some time ago the band announced Van Weezer would leave the studio first. But yesterday we got
the news that they changed their minds. OK Human will be out next week, 29th January, and Van Weezer on 7th May.
This leaves us with the 3 singles they already dropped from the Van Weezer LP and none from OK Human. Are you still there, do you still follow? Let’s have the 3 Van Weezers right here to warm up while waiting for both album releases…
