Weezer is an American rock and roll band. The specific genre of their music is debated, although it can be said that their style is related to Alternative rock and/or Emo. They formed on February 14, 1992. They have released four full length albums, an EP, a DVD, and their debut album was recently rereleased as a deluxe edition. An as-of-yet untitled fifth album is expected to be released in late 2004 or early 2005.
