Hey Fender the comments on your sponsored FB posts are proof positive that all dude guitarists should be summarily banned from the internet. Embarrassing.

Awright, we got sixteen. LP1 is written.

A year ago today we released the video (directed by the crazy talented Judith Lapara) for the closest thing we've got to a hit. Thanks to everyone who's streamed it so far - at about 85,000 plays across all yer darn platforms, this thing should technically be certified platinum in Canada*!

It was, of course, a big hit with the youtube bros. Favourite comment: "The music is good but the lyrics are cancer." Thanks, buddy!

*if they completely changed the rules and made several exceptions in our favour.

It's that time of year again! The almighty Weezer will release their 12th studio record, "The Black Album," on Friday. As longtime "ride or die" fans, we're super stoked.

In anticipation, we've put together this handy game of INTERNET WEEZER DISCUSSION BINGO so you can track the inevitably heated online rhetoric by following along with your favourite local rock critics and disgruntled facebook acquaintances as they lament the musical output of a band they stopped liking almost a quarter of a century ago.

Grab yer dabbers, fire up Pitchfork and let's get dabbin'!

actual photograph of me listening to the demos for TSH LP1

WHOA HI HELLO! We're at the tail end of the extremely protracted, delicate, fruitful, slippery, terrifying & altogether revolutionary (ehhh...) process of writing our first full-length. In the meantime, we're prepping a compilation release of everything we've done over the first four years of our existence (p.s. happy anniversary to us). It is basically an elaborate ruse to 1) remind y'all we still exist, 2) trick Spotify into adding us back into some playlists and 3) force everyone to listen to our very first, very ignored EP Disunion Tour. (PRO TIP: don't start your first release with a slow song.)

But anyway: remember this kickass Tragically Hip cover? I forgot how kickass it actually is. Now whenever I hear the original (which is like every other day because "Phantom Power" is one of the best Canadian rock records of all time) I'm amazed at how slow it is.

We’ll figure this whole instagram tourism thing out one day, I swear

BEST OF 2018 MOTHERFATHERS!

GREETANGS! Long time no post! Do you want the good news first or the bad news? The good news is that we are close to having a whole record (and then some) written. See this beautiful list of working titles as solid proof that I’m not even lying! We’ll demo these in a couple months and then hit the studio proper shortly thereafter. We are even Chatting with Some Labels About It, which is also not even a lie. The bad news? SOCIETY IS COLLAPSING AT A RATE FASTER THAN WE CAN OUTRUN. JOHN CUSACK IS ON HIS WAY WITH AN AIRPLANE BUT I DON’T KNOW IF WE ARE GOING TO MAKE IT OUT OF HERE ALIVE!!! Which is a bummer

Um ok so we hit #4 on the SoundCloud Top 50 Alternative Rock list, just above Panic! At The Disco and just below Lil Peep, and THAT, my friends, is going straight into the next press release, 100%.

Hey Quilter Labs one of our band cats is a huge fan of your boxes for the Pro Block 200 and she’s wondering if she can get a sponsorship?

OF COURSE HE DOES

folks folks folks.

Give the fascist Christian right an inch and of course they’ll take a round trip to the fucking moon. We’ve ushered to power a government that has already proven it will base policy decisions on a refusal to understand or empathize with anything they don’t understand.

I’m sure we are preaching to the choir here, but this is just insane.

anyway our photoshop got liked by @jannarden and retweeted by a former canadian idol judge and also reposted by @huffpostcanada so my friends we have truly hit the big leagues and also could someone please give us a bunch of money to record our album anyway the internet is weird have a nice day

Hey we fixed that Maclean's cover for y’all!

The man with the second best bass tone in the city and the first best t-shirt. Isaac of Sixteen Scandals repping the eleventh or twelfth most okayest band of Toronto at the Bovine last night! And he also played pretty well, too.

ME: i really should do some work to make up for the fact that i played guitar all day
ALSO ME: do i still know how to program in gw-basic
ALSO ALSO ME: no

tfw when you spend $220 to get your favourite blackstar guitar cabinet fixed and you lug it all the way back to the jam space for practice and you play it for about twelve seconds and then your marshall amp head dies and you have to lug IT to the repair shop now and then your bass player buys you ice cream to cheer you up and it totally works
