Weezer Unveil Raditude Album Artwork

• 14th Sep 2009

Weezer have confirmed the release of their seventh studio album Raditude on 26 October on DGC/Interscope Records. The band have been busy in the studio crafting an undeniable batch of new songs with some of music's most renowned and desired producers and collaborators, including Jacknife Lee and Butch Walker. The record is heralded by lead track (If You're Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To, which is currently streaming on the band’s official site and will be released as a single on 9 November.

The band released their debut album, Weezer, in 1994. Since christened ‘The Blue Album’, the record broke through on the back of worldwide hit Buddy Holly. The critically acclaimed Pinkerton followed two years later, with another self-titled release (known as ‘The Green Album’) coming in 2001. Maladriot (2002) and Make Believe (2005) followed. Raditude comes hot on the heels of last year’s third self-titled record (lovingly referred to as ‘The Red Album’), whose Grammy Award-winning single Pork and Beans spent 13 weeks in the coveted #1 spot on the US’ Modern Rock radio – the longest streak for a song that year. The accompanying video for the track, which features a slew of YouTube’s most notable A-list celebrities, has been viewed more than 18 million times on the site.

Weezer are currently on tour in the US, joining Blink 182 on their much-anticipated reunion tour. Fans can trace the band’s experience on the road by visiting link, where the tour will be chronicled via photo essay and exclusive recordings.
