Weezer have just released their first single, 'Memories,' from the new album 'Hurley.' After 16 years with Geffen Records, frontman Rivers Cuomo and the rest of the band have decided to go indie and release their eighth studio album on Epitaph Records. The new album hits stores Sept. 14. However, if Weezer fans pre-order 'Hurley' on iTunes, they'll be able to download 'Memories' right away.

According to Spinner, the news of Weezer signing to Epitaph broke last Wednesday, when label/co-founder Brett Gurewitz announced the signing on Twitter. Just because Weezer has gone indie doesn't mean they've altered their sound. In fact, the awesomely catchy sing-a-long chorus in 'Memories' makes us feel like this could be Weezer's biggest hit in years: "Memories make me want to go back there, back there / Memories, how can we make it back there, back there / I want to be there again." Listen to 'Memories' on AOL Radio's New Alternative First station.
