THE WEAKERTHANS - NIGHT WINDOWS


ARTIST / BAND: THE WEAKERTHANS
SONG (MP3): NIGHT WINDOWS
ALBUM: Reunion Tour
FILE UNDER: Folk Rock
LABEL: Epitaph

INFO: The band was formed in 1997 in Winnipeg, Manitoba by John K. Samson, after he left the punk band Propagandhi to start a publishing company. Samson joined forces with bassist John P. Sutton and drummer Jason Tait, and created The Weakerthans as a vehicle for a more melodic and introspective brand of songwriting than that of Propagandhi. The band's name originates in a line from the 1992 film The Lover: "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine."[5]
