Weezer Debut New Song And Perform Theme Tune On The Simpsons

Weezer have never stuck to convention (they previously premiered last year's Black Album via Fortnite), and their ace guest appearance on The Simpsons last night proved it: rather than teasing new music via social media like most other bands, the California geek rock heroes gave a sneak peek of upcoming track Blue Dream in the episode.

Rivers Cuomo and the gang featured on new Simpsons ep The Hateful Eight Year-Olds, voicing a cover band called Sailor’s Delight. As well as performing their own already-known material, the gang unveiled another new tune from their upcoming Van Weezer album, which was originally set for release this month (a new release date will be announced soon).
