''Hurley'' is the name of the upcoming eighth studio album by American alternative rock band Weezer. It is set to be released on September 14, 2010 by Epitaph Records. Rivers Cuomo said of the album, "There's definitely going to be more raw rock energy on this one."
The album's cover is a picture of American actor Jorge Garcia, who portrayed Hugo "Hurley" Reyes on the television series ''Lost'' from 2004 to 2010. Guitarist Brian Bell has stated publicly that the record was named after clothing company Hurley International, whose bosses he said funded the recording, and not Garcia's ''Lost'' character. Bell later claimed that he was mistaken and that the album was in fact named after the ''Lost'' character and not the clothing company.
The tracklist was revealed in August of 2010, and the first single from the album is titled "Memories".
Canadian actor Michael Cera has been confirmed to make a guest appearance on the album; singing backing vocals and playing Hurdy gurdy and mandolin on the track "Hang On". - Wikipedia
