Description:
There is no substitute for the inherent beauty of the human voice. Singing with pure passion will always strike a chord and The Weakerthans channel this knowledge into every facet of their music.
The Weakerthans are the rare combination of thoughtful lyrical excellence and contagious, memorable hooks, which make their tapestry of folk, punk, country and sonnets impossible to ignore. Like listening to an old friend tell a story, John K. Samson is disarming and earnest and this is what ultimately sets the band apart from the rest of the pack, "if today's great indie songwriters were a graduating high school class, Sampson would definitely get voted best all around." - Prefix Magazine
Following on from their brilliant sophomore effort ‘Left and Leaving’ and the wonderfully crafted ‘Reconstruction Site’, The Weakerthans proceeded to hole themselves up in a recording studio built above a factory on the outskirts of Winnipeg, the cold prairie city where the band was born 10 years ago. The result was the 2007 masterpiece ‘The Reunion Tour’, a lush, energetic, infectious and unforgettable album…”it is quite simply an outstanding piece of work” – Junk Media
Touring Australia as part of the Soundwave Festival, The Weakerthans have announced that they will be performing intimate club shows in Sydney and Melbourne only.
