Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo has built a streaming platform to host thousands of Weezer demos.The tracks were originally released in 2020 as part of Cuomo’s “web programming class”.Available to buy in era-bundles, the demos range from Cuomo’s musical ventures pre-Weezer all the way through to 2017’s ‘Pacific Daydream’.

Now, he’s built an app to play those demos and called it Weezify. It’s available on the Apple Store and through Google Play.“A Spotify-like player for all of Rivers Cuomo’s demos (1975 – 2017),” reads the description. “Close to 3,500 demos.

Follow curated playlists. Create playlists of your favourites. I made this app myself. It took me all of 2021 to make. I hope you enjoy it.”Tired of Spotify?
