We Almost Made It

Weezer was one of the most popular groups to emerge in the post-grunge alternative rock aftermath. They drew from the heavy power pop of arena rockers like Cheap Trick and the Pixies. What truly set the band apart, though, was their geekiness. Their singles were helped immeasurably by clever videos, which made the songs into hits but also caused critics to believe that the band was a one-hit wonder. The band's second album, Pinkerton, didn't sell as well as their debut, but earned stronger reviews than its predecessor and paved the way for Weezer's long career.

Rivers Cuomo moved to Los Angeles to attend college in the late '80s. He formed Weezer with bassist Matt Sharp and drummer Patrick Wilson. The group landed a deal with DGC during the post-Nirvana alternative signing boom. Their single 'Buddy Holly' was a crossover success. A year after the release of the White Album, Weezer returned with 'Feels Like Summer.' The first single from their 11th LP, Pacific Daydream, rose into the top four of the Billboard Alternative and Rock charts. Months later in 2018, the band delivered a faithful cover of Toto's classic 'Africa.'
