The Stooges unleash their unbridled energy with 'The Weirdness', a 40-minute sonic onslaught that crashes onto the scene with their signature proto-punk, punk, and garage rock flair. Released on 1 January 2007 via Virgin Records, this album is a testament to the band's enduring legacy and a bold statement of their continued relevance in the music world.
Throughout 'The Weirdness', The Stooges deliver a dozen tracks that embody their raw, unapologetic spirit.

With cuts like 'ATM', 'My Idea Of Fun', and 'Free & Freaky', The Stooges showcase their ability to craft infectious, high-octane rockers that are equal parts catchy and confrontational.
The album's latter half continues to push boundaries, with tracks like 'Greedy Awful People', 'She Took My Money', and 'The End Of Christianity' demonstrating The Stooges' penchant for social commentary and biting satire. The record draws to a close with the swaggering 'Mexican Guy', the atmospheric 'Passing Cloud', and the frenetic 'I'm Fried', leaving the listener breathless and eager for more.
With 'The Weirdness', The Stooges reaffirm their status as pioneers of the punk rock movement, and their influence can still be felt in the music world today. This album is a must-listen for fans of the genre and anyone looking to experience the unbridled energy and rebellious spirit of The Stooges.
