Weezer are over video meeting calls in their new visual for “Grapes of Wrath.” The song appears on the group’s 14th studio album, Ok Human, which arrived in January.
The Brendan Walter and Jasper Graham-directed clip opens on Rivers Cuomo, who is lamenting having to do another weekly meeting tied to the computer screen when he has a giant list of books he’d rather tackle. He opts out by adding a photo of himself in front of his computer camera. Soon, each of his bandmates — Patrick Wilson,...

Weezer put a new spin on socially distanced late-night performances with their rendition of “Hero” on The Tonight Show Wednesday.

Soon though, the TV over his shoulder flashed on and the other members of Weezer — Pat Wilson, Brian Bell and Scott Shriner — appeared on screen to provide accompaniment.

Weezer linked up with Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of Tears for Fears for a performance of “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” on Jimmy Kimmel Live Monday.
Smith and Rivers Cuomo shared vocal duties on the song, trading verses while Weezer guitarist Brian Bell breezed through the song’s famous twinkling guitar lines alongside Orzabal. The best moments of the performance, however, came when Orzabal joined Cuomo and Smith to croon the famous chorus in perfect three-part harmony.

Weezer dusted off their power-pop anthem “Buddy Holly” on Tuesday’s Tonight Show with a comedic twist by joining Jimmy Fallon and his barbershop-style vocal group, “the Ragtime Gals,” for a late-night rendition.
All four Weezer members—frontman Rivers Cuomo, guitarist Brian Bell, bassist Scott Shriner and drummer Patrick Wilson—adopted cartoonish vocal styles for their a capella version of the 1994 hit, with everyone dressed in matching, red-green-and-yellow jackets.
Later in the show, the group played a non-jokey take on “Living in L.A.,” the latest single from their upcoming 13th LP Weezer,...

Weezer is officially the go-to hipster cover band of our dreams and we are so here for all of their music magic. On Wednesday, Weezer dropped a surprise album called The Teal Album, completely made up of cover songs...most of which are very different from the usual tunes the band belts out.

Now, the group has given fans nine more covers to sing along to, and trust us you will be singing along to all of these unique alternative rock and pop takes on...
