An incredibly wise man once said that beer is: "The cause of, and solution to, all of life's problems." For Nashville rock-duo JEFF the Brotherhood it's also a muse. "Six Pack" pegs the fermented beverage as the center piece to carefree days, good times, and great rock and roll. With the low grumbling guitar, pining vocals and stoic drumming, it's almost like your listening to the ghost of Weezer's Blue Album. Without the lamenting of lost love though. Instead, JEFF the Brotherhood sound like they're all about sharing a six pack, and reminiscing about the [...]
flashsongbook : Weezer, “El Scorcho.” Pinkerton, 1996.
We're a mere 11 days away from the inaugural Bunbury Music Festival taking place at Sawyer's Point in Cincinnati. The 3-day festival features over 100 bands (ranging from internationally-known headlining acts like Jane's Addiction , Weezer and Death Cab for Cutie a 15-year-old Cincinnati singer/songwriter, Jake Kolesar , whose set will be a mix of originals and covers) as well as a number of DJs. We've spent the last month interviewing many of the bands performing so that we can present to those [...]

[Welcome to Sophomore/Sophomoric, where we'll catalog the tiptoed journeys of the literally thousands of bands who have attempted, not all of them successfully, to navigate their way from debut success and past the proverbial "sophomore slump" into the rarefied air of "sophomore glory." Is that a term? It'd be better if it was alliterative. How about, "sophomore splendor"? That works better, yeah.] Words by Jacob Artist: Weezer Albums: Weezer [blue] (1994) & Pinkerton (1996) [...]
In addition to the previously announced
Rivers & Co. hit some smaller cities this summer/fall.
Hot Chip started out as this sort of Weezer -like entity within the electronica-dance scene. When they first appeared in 2004, they were enticingly regarded as a sort of nerd-pop group, as they openly admitted their infatuation with Prince and wore their Dad jeans. Their first two albums, Coming On Strong and The Warning , were filled with simple, throbbing beats and smart lyrics that were both funny and memorable. By Made In The Dark , their sound [...]

We greeted the prospect of listening to Oceania , the new album by Billy Corgan and some people who he's calling Smashing Pumpkins, with the same trepidation shown by pretty much everyone else who grew up in the 1990s. Quite why Corgan insists on calling his band Smashing Pumpkins these days is unclear — when the classic line-up of that band split in 2000, Corgan formed a new band under a new name — but he chose to exhume it in 2006, and with the departure of Jimmy Chamberlin in 2009, he's the only remaining original member.

Frank Yang With most club-level festivals, some intense venue-hopping is par for the course and in a city with a downtown as spread out as Toronto, the logistics of getting from point A to point B in the allotted time can be an art form all its own. Unless you do things as I did on the Thursday night of NXNE and basically plant yourself at one intersection and let the bands come to you. This wasn't an arbitrary decision, mind. Dundas-Ossington has gone from borderland outpost to hot spot in the past [...]
É hora de levar seus óculos de aro grosso e a parte mais "nerd" de seu guarda-roupa para a grama campestre do SWU (que ainda não definiu seu local em 2012), afinal, o Weezer está de volta ao Brasil e se apresentará no festival paulista, de acordo com o Jornal Destak . Rivers Cuomo e cia., ainda na turnê do álbum Hurley , de 2010, se juntam ao Soundgarden como possíveis confirmações do festival SWU de acordo com o Destak. Os jornais chilenos apontam outros boatos para o Maquinaria/SWU, [...]

By Matt Arena At first thought, garage rock in an arena might not sound like the greatest idea. Arena rock has traditionally incorporated big sounds, accompanied with over the top, expensive production pieces. Blaring lights, pyrotechnics, and stage pieces with a price tag that would make Tony Stark sweat are the norm. But lately bands have been changing that. Acts with more stripped down sounds have been able to book arenas and do it with considerably less production. This leads ...
