The Weakerthans includes: John Samson (vocals, guitar); John P. Sutton (vocals, bass); Stephen Carroll (guitar); Jason Tait (drums, saw).
Additional personnel: Roberta Dempster (vocals); Lloyd Peterson (electric slide guitar).
Recorded at Private Ear Studios, Winnipeg, Canada in 1997.
Even though the Weakerthans feature bassist extraordinaire John K. Samson (formerly of Propaghandi), there is no way this could even come close to a musical comparison with his former band. These guys are a lot more laid-back, almost folky at times but in a way that couldn't be categorized as a hippie band. Lyrically, Samson's pen has a sharp, poetic tone, making it impossible for one not to be taken into his stories. Just imagine Jawbreaker meeting the Smoking Popes, but with a relaxed energy level that doesn't bore the listener. They even successfully incorporate a bow saw into their music -- how about that for innovation? ~ Mike DaRonco
