The Best Indie Songs of 2014 - Weezer

 

 

 The Weezer track Back To The Shack (July'14) is a welcome return to form from the group that established themselves as cult greats with songs like Buddy Holly and El Scorcho. Back To The Shack is a pogo inducing roll that works up to a moshing rock out. Classic Weezer.

 

Straight out of L.A. Weezer are genuine rock legends and have been doing it large for over 20 years. Their main early influences were KISS, Nirvana and The Pixies while remaining best friends forever with Green Day.

Back To The Shack is off their ninth album Everything Will Be Alright In The End (Oct'14) and has already spawned two arse-kicking singles, this, and Cleopatra.

 

There's no doubt slippery seconds is coming from a Weezer cover today. Legends get two shots. Weezer have no shortage of great covers out there including, The Foo Fighter's Big Me, The Clash's Should I Say Or Should I Go and Coldplay's Viva La Vida to name but a few.

But I'm going with Foster The People's Pumped Up Kicks because they took an already great song and made it better and that's the hallmark of genius. Enjoy.
