Weezer Pull A U2 And Give Away Song Via Phone Maker

. (Radio.com) While music fans are still wrapping their collective heads around U2's surprise album release that was unexpectedly dropped on iTunes users around the world, alt-rock heroes Weezer have teamed up with a competing digital device manufacturer to issue the latest song from the band's forthcoming full-length.

"Lonely Girl" is the title of the latest taste from Everything Will Be Alright in the End, Weezer's ninth studio album that's set for release on Oct. 7 via Republic Records.

The full-length reunites the band with producer Ric Ocasek, the first time the frontman of rock legends The Cars has piloted a Weezer album since 2001's self-titled set.

The track is classic Weezer, pairing distorted guitars with a catchy, singalong melody and surf-rock undertones. The band announced the tune's Samsung release via their official Twitter account. Read more here.
