Hook sat down with here and revealed the following about their new album "We finished a brand new record. It's completely finished. We're trying to pick a release date. I think we're looking at an early 2018 release."

"Hello, my name is Tom DeLonge from the Blink-182," he posted to Facebook. "We are aiming to build this ElectroMagnetic Vehicle to Travel instantaneously through Space, Air and Water by engineering the fabric of Space-Time," he added, next to an impressive image of a sleek and futuristic spacecraft.

So the inspiration behind our latest single, 'Eris' actually came from when we reached the end of the writing process for the record. Having less than a week to finalize vocals before going into the studio I ended up unfortunately getting writers block and it couldn't have come at a worse time. Up until the last day at the studio I felt completely worthless to the ones care for the most in my life, all because I couldn't write lyrics that were good enough for me. I stayed up all night with nothing but negative thoughts yet nothing could come to mind on what to base the song off of.

Then it dawned on me to just write with how I was feeling. That night I probably got two hours of sleep that night but I wasn't sleeping until I had something worthy of going on this record. After all of the stress, 'Eris' was born and its the song of the record that not only portrayed everything that was going through my head at that time in my life but it also ended up being personally my favorite song off of this new release.

The new run of live dates are scheduled to begin on January 22 in Victoria BC and stretches through mid-February with a Feb. 17 show at The Forum in Los Angeles.

The event is scheduled to take place at The Novo in downtown Los Angeles on Tuesday, October 24th and AXS TV will begin their live broadcast at 7:00PM PT. Fans can also watch a live stream of via the Loudwire Facebook page.

"Next up from the new album is 'Happy Hour,' which like many cool Weezer songs has a sad message wrapped in a sunny package," the band wrote on Twitter.

Recorded in both Los Angeles and Portland, the recording process brought out polarizing emotions. "The material we did in L.A. was a little angrier," Deuce explains, "In Portland, it got more mellow and hip-hop. I think you can hear the difference."
