“Rivers, Pat, Brian and Scott, Welcome to Epitaph homies! FT=W=.”

Soon after, Rivers Cuomo made a follow-up tweet:

“Hey, Weezer is happy to announce our signing to @epitaphrecs and release of new album "Hurley" on Sept. 14.”

Along With Weezer’s upcoming release, Epitaph will soon be releasing new albums from Bad Religion and Social Distortion as well.

Looks like you’re in cool company there, Weezer!

      The problem with overturning Prop 8 is that one judge vetoed the votes of 7 million people. That is very dangerous for America. This is not a "gay" issue. America is a democracy not a dictatorship. A judge can come along and decide, like in Islamic countries, that we should punishl people for having gay relationships. Would that be ok? Of course not. We have laws in our country and we vote. The people voted no. Sorry about that. One judge should not have the authority to overturn that.

      Just saw Weezer last weekend in Columbus Ohio and it was one of the best shows ever! They were so interactive with the audience, I've never seen anything like it. Stopping to take pics and sign autographs in the middle of the show. Amazing sound and energy. I've always been a fan…but I would pay big bucks to see them live again. Can't wait for the new release…!
