Weezer is an American rock band formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1992. Since 2001, the band has consisted of Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Patrick Wilson (drums), Brian Bell (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), and Scott Shriner (bass, keyboards, backing vocals). They have sold 10 million albums in the United States and over 35 million worldwide.
After signing with Geffen Records in 1993, Weezer released its acclaimed self-titled debut album, also known as the Blue Album, in May 1994. Backed by music videos for the hit singles "Undone – The Sweater Song", "Buddy Holly", and "Say It Ain't So", the Blue Album became a multi-platinum success. Weezer's second album, Pinkerton (1996), featuring a darker, more abrasive sound, was a commercial failure and initially received mixed reviews, but achieved cult status and acclaim later. Both the Blue Album and Pinkerton have been cited among the best albums of the 1990s. After the tour for Pinkerton, the founding bassist, Matt Sharp, left the band and Weezer went on hiatus.
In 2001, Weezer returned with the Green Album and a new bassist, Mikey Welsh. With a more pop-oriented sound, and promoted by singles "Hash Pipe" and "Island in the Sun", it was a commercial success and received mostly good reviews. After the Green Album tour, Welsh left for health reasons and was replaced by Scott Shriner. Weezer's fourth album, Maladroit (2002), incorporated a hard rock sound and received mostly good reviews, but weaker sales. Make Believe (2005) received mixed reviews but its single "Beverly Hills" became Weezer's first single to top the US Modern Rock Tracks chart and their first to reach the top ten on the Billboard Hot 100.
In 2008, Weezer released the Red Album. Its lead single, "Pork and Beans", became the third Weezer song to top the Modern Rock Tracks chart, backed by a Grammy-winning music video. Raditude (2009) and Hurley (2010) both featured more modern pop production, along with songs written with other artists, receiving further mixed reviews and moderate sales. Everything Will Be Alright in the End (2014) and the White Album (2016) returned to a rock style reminiscent of the band's 1990s sound, mixed with modern alternative production, and received better reviews, while Pacific Daydream (2017) returned to a more mainstream pop sound. In 2019, Weezer surprise-released an album of covers, the Teal Album, followed by the Black Album. In 2021, it released OK Human, which featured an orchestral pop sound and received acclaim, followed by the hard rock-inspired Van Weezer. In 2022, Weezer released SZNZ, a series of four mini-albums based on the four seasons. Weezer's 20th album, the Gold Album, was released in 2026.
