Weezer recently decided to make all of their fans’ wishes come true. After recently doing several longtime requested covers including Toto’s “Africa,” the band will now release The Black Album, their long-rumored 12th studio album. American rockers announced the release by debuting a new track “Can’t Knock the Hustle.” Further details about the record remain unknown, except the fact that it should be released in the first half of 2019.

Weezer’s new song was accompanied by an intriguing music video which stars Fall Out Boy’s bassist and backing vocalist Pete Wentz as a ride share service driver. As part of the video, website HastaLuegoAdios was set up containing a phone number of this fake company. When texted, the number sends back a form which enables fans to sign up to get updates about The Black Album.

And that’s not all, the band also announced new dates for their ongoing joint tour with legendary rock band Pixies. The new leg of this North America tour will kick off in Louisville on March 8th and will wrap up with a show in Las Vegas’ Mandalay Bay Event Center on April 12th. The tickets will be on sale starting October 19th.
