The first single, "Undone - The Sweater Song", garnered attention given that Spike Jonze directed the music video for the track. Jason was replaced by Brian Bell, a then bassist from a band called Carnival Art. During the recording of the Blue Album, Jason Cropper left the band to take care of his future wife, who was pregnant with their first child. The album was produced by former The Cars frontman Ric Ocasek. Tracks "Undone (The Sweater Song)" (also known as "Undone - The Sweater Song"), "Buddy Holly", and "Say It Ain't So” were released as singles. The self-titled debut, 'Weezer', commonly referred to as 'The Blue Album', came out on May 10, 1994. The band became a part of the DGC label (which later turned into Interscope). The group soon received attention from various A&R reps, and the guys were signed on Jby Todd Sullivan, an A&R rep from Geffen Records. Weezer began playing clubs to small audiences around L.A. Five weeks after forming, they had their first gig, opening for Dogstar at Raji's Bar and Ribshack on Hollywood Boulevard.
Weezer started in Los Angeles, California when Rivers Cuomo joined with Patrick Wilson, Matt Sharp, and Jason Cropper, who was later replaced by Brian Bell. Playing music influenced by alternative bands and power pop artists among others, they're sometimes viewed as a part of the 90s indie movement. They've sold over nine million records in the United States to date.
Their latest album, titled 'Weezer (Black Album)', came out on March 1st, 2019.
