Winnipeg's the Weakerthans could be mistaken for just another power-pop band, but beyond the gleaming melodies and jangly, punk-tinged guitars lie dense and intricate lyrics that examine life from both a personal and a global perspective, reflecting the literate intelligence and political engagement of songwriter John K. Samson (formerly of agit-punk band Propaghandi). The band, who have been releasing albums since 1999, are committed to grass roots causes and a DIY approach, eschewing major-label offers in order to stay rooted in the indie scene.
