The Weakerthans are a four-piece (and sometimes six-piece) Canadian indie rock band that blends punk-inflected folk rock with award-winning, literate, introspective lyrics. 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.
