'''EVEN THOUGH WEEZER HAVEN'T | '''EVEN THOUGH WEEZER HAVEN'T RELEASED A NEW ALBUM IN FOUR YEARS,''' that doesn't mean the members were resting on their laurels. Far from it: In fact, all four members each released music through different projects. Frontman Rivers Cuomo formed [[Scott & Rivers]] with Allister bassist/vocalist [[Scott Murphy]]; the duo released their self-titled album, a bubbly J-pop affair, exclusively in Japan in [[2013]]. Pat Wilson revived his lo-fi rock side project, the [[The Special Goodness|Special Goodness]], in [[2012]], digitally self-releasing ''[[Natural]]'', his fourth album under the moniker. Guitarist Brian Bell has stayed busy with his band, a '70s-rock-leaning quartet called the [[The Relationship|Relationship]], featuring current/ex-members of U.S. Bombs and the Bravery. They released their self-titled debut in late [[2010]] and are currently working on a follow-up, with four songs already in the can (via analog 8-track to one-inch tape, natch). | ||
Bassist Scott Shriner threw his hat into the ring in [[2012]] with "[[Watch the Shadows|Pretty (Watch The Shadows)]]," the dark and moody debut single from his solo project, [[Shriners]], on a limited-edition 7-inch—only he never follwed it up with an album. "I got cold feet," he admits. "You only get one chance to say, 'This is my album, and this is what I want to sound like.' I happened to be going through therapy at the time, working on some heavy shit from when I was a kid, so I wrote it all out. One of the songs is really brutal. It's not the whole picture of me. I'm gonna add to that and put out a record." Shriner says the album will have a bevy of ringers on it, including ex-Queens Of The Stone Age drummer Joey Castillo and Velvet Revolver guitarist Dave Kushner, but the real question is this: Would he let his son play drums on a track? | Bassist Scott Shriner threw his hat into the ring in [[2012]] with "[[Watch the Shadows|Pretty (Watch The Shadows)]]," the dark and moody debut single from his solo project, [[Shriners]], on a limited-edition 7-inch—only he never follwed it up with an album.
