WEEZER RELEASE NEW ALBUM

I had full intentions of copying the press blurb for the release of the new Weezer album, (I say ‘new’, its not out until July) but it didn’t really do them justice.
As one of the biggest and most influential bands of the last ten years, they are set to release the third self-titled album in their six-album history.
It hits the stores on June 24th via DGC/Interscope Records. To distinguish it from the other eponymous albums its being referred to by people as “The Red Album”. Makes sense..
Comprised of sessions produced by Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself, the album is adventurous and undeniable Weezer pop-rock. The first single, the quirky and catchy “Pork and Beans”, was recorded under the watch of the Irishman Lee and will soon be a Weezer classic. The song which will be available to buy digitally on April 22, is already at Modern Rock Radio and a video will be available in early May. Needless to say as soon as we have the hook-ups we will bring them straight to you.
Great albums are culminations of the past with an eye to the future, and “The Red Album” has parts all their previous releases and forges new territory with all four members taking turns singing lead. For me, Weezer will always remain a favourite and a band close to my heart, hopefully the release of the new album will bring the guys over here for some much anticipated live shows!
