We all remember Weezer when they had their first rise to fame in the mid 1990’s when they released huge hit songs like Say It Ain’t So and Buddy Holly which were later followed by even bigger hit singles including Hash Pipe, Island in the Sun, We Are All on Drugs, and Beverly Hills. The band are definitely not strangers to creating catchy, upbeat tunes that always hit the charts at top speed. Not only does their music make an impression during it’s release, it is often remembered as “vintage” or “way-back” music and is played often on radio stations and in bars and lounges.
Formed in 1992, the band have had major success over the last two and a half decades. From plenty of singles over 25 years to hundreds of live concerts and shows at festivals, it seems that Weezer are not slowing down anytime soon. After all, it was only last year they released their self-titled album The White Album which peaked at number 4 on the Billboard charts and was nominated for a Grammy.
Weezer are back this year and heading out on tour this summer and fall, hitting plenty of festivals and concert halls across both North America and Europe. With the release of a new song called Feels Like Summer, Weezer are set to release a whole new album, which has yet to be named. Bringing in the summer early with their latest new track, it reminds us of the old school material that Weezer once wrote, created, and had us all jamming out to. However, it still has that modern feel that tells us it might be the song of the summer. Feels Like Summer has the usual story telling lyrics that the band use to create an image of love, life, and ultimately good times.
