Featured article: Avant Garde

Avant Garde (later known as Zoom) was a progressive heavy metal band from Connecticut. Featuring technical and heavy guitar solos, a dramatic production sense, and hair metal aesthetics, the band was formed by Rivers Cuomo and Justin Fisher with other students from E.O. Smith and Rockville High School. Avant Garde consisted of Cuomo on guitar, Fisher on bass, Kevin Ridel on lead vocals, his brother Eric Ridel on guitar (later replaced by Michael Stanton), and Bryn Mutch on drums. In 1988, the band relocated to Los Angeles from Connecticut, changed its name to Zoom, and would dissolve by the spring of 1990.

Featured song: "The British Are Coming"

"The British Are Coming" is the sixth track on Everything Will Be Alright in the End.

While "The British Are Coming" would be released on Everything Will Be Alright in the End, it was initially written for the scrapped concept album Ecce Homo. It was planned to be the fifth song, and would represent the main character Sebastian coming into his own and finding independence. It was rumored that the original version of the song also contained more explicitly personal lyrics for years, before that version surfaced under the name "Don't Mess With My Girl".

The liner notes for Everything Will Be Alright in the End groups songs by one of three themes. "The British Are Coming" is grouped under the category "Patriarchia" (songs about Cuomo's relationships with father figures).

Featured quote: Scott Shriner on auditioning for and joining Weezer, July 2019.

"It's how I would imagine getting made into a mafia family would be. I'm a made man now. I'm a full member of this band, and it's not like nobody can kill me or anything, but I feel like I've cemented my place in this legacy. I'd be lying if I didn't say that it's pretty fucking great."
