Weezer

Weezer biography

Brian Bell has been working on a solo project called The Relationship, and did not write any songs for Raditude in order to save more material for his solo work. Cuomo's second demo album, Alone II: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo, was released on November 25, 2008. The album includes further tracks from the scrapped Songs from the Black Hole, early versions of songs later released as full-band demos, amongst various other demo tracks.

Many members of Weezer have bands of their own. Brian Bell has collaborated with Space Twins and The Relationship, Mikey Welsh was in Juliana Hatfield, The Kickovers, Heretix, Jocobono, Slower and Left Nut.
