The band is made up of members Rivers Cuomo (lead vocals, guitar, keyboards), Patrick Wilson (drums, backing vocals), Brian Bell (guitar, keyboards, backing vocals), and Scott Shriner (bass guitar, keyboards, backing vocals). Weezer released their critically acclaimed self-titled debut album, also known as the Blue Album, in May 1994. The Blue Album became a multi platinum success, including singles “Buddy Holly”, “Undone – The Sweater Song”, and “Say It Ain’t So.” Weezer has had a successful career and many impressive accolades, having multiple Grammy nominations and one Grammy win for Best Music Video for “Pork and Beans” in 2009.
