The Weakerthans- Anybody else like them?

My friend gave me two CDs of theirs Reunion Tour, and Reconstruction Site and they're a really fun Canadian pop rock band. Nice lyrics and very cathy melodies.

I only have one album of theirs, Left and Leaving. I haven't listened to it in a while but it has some good songs. The one that plays during the credits of Wedding Crashers is good. it's one of their more upbeat ones, I remember the rest of the album being fairly slow.
I did enjoy the singers work when he was with Propagandhi. always liked his voice.

Ahh yeah, I love them! Seen them twice live, and they have been stellar both times.
Good stuff... their newest album is pretty killer.

Some favorite Music Vids of them for you guys to check out:

Any band that sings so passionately about Curling and Winnipeg are fantastic in my books!

Love Our Retired Explorer video. Just finished the Left and Leaving album and it was great.
