Warner Music Group has announced the creation of a joint venture with Crush Music co-founders, Jonathan Daniel and Bob McLynn. The first act signed to the newly established label is the multi-platinum-selling band Weezer, who will be released via WMG’s Atlantic Records.

The first release from the Crush Music label will be Weezer’s self-titled, tenth studio album (referred to as The White Album), out on April 1, 2016. The first track from the highly anticipated album, “Thank God For Girls” (“insanely catchy new single” – NPR), has charted across multiple genres and is currently sitting in the top 10 at alternative radio. In addition, the band recently announced a massive 40+ city nationwide U.S. co-headlining summer tour with Panic! At The Disco that is already selling out markets.

Hailing from Los Angeles, CA, Weezer—Rivers Cuomo (vocals/guitar), Brian Bell (guitar), Scott Shriner (bass), and Patrick Wilson (drums)—has sold over nine million albums in the U.S. and over 17 million records worldwide. The alt-rock band has proven themselves a force in the industry with a 20-year catalog that features chart-topping hits such as “Buddy Holly,” “Say It Ain’t So,” “Hash Pipe,” “Beverly Hills,” “Perfect Situation,” “Pork and Beans,” “El Scorcho,” “Island In The Sun,” and more.
