Biografia:
A banda Weakerthans foi formada em 1997, em Winnipeg , Manitoba por John K. Samson , depois que ele deixou a banda de hardcore Propagandhi. John se juntou com o baixista John P. Sutton e o baterista Jason Tait , ambos de Winnipeg, e criaram o Weakerthans, com um som mais melódico e uma forma introspectiva de composição que seus projetos anteriores.
A história da origem do nome da banda, como citado no encarte de Fallow menciona, é uma quota do filme de 1992 "The Lover"( "Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine.

Tournament of Hearts by the Weakerthans
F
Now the lounge is full of farmers
C
for the 7:30 draw
Am Bb
The teammates all left before they had to buy a round
F C
When they pull the 50/50, and I've lost again I'll go
Am Bb
Maybe have one more brown one for the snowy road
G Bb
All the championship banners going yellow on the wall
F C Bb
And my name when it gets closer to last call
F
So Elvira brings my bottle
C
Hold it up and let it bend
Am Bb
Figures of two rinks battling an extra end
F
And i'm peeling off the label
C
As they peel a corner guard
Am Bb
Dance down the sheet to the tune of "Hurry, Hurry Hard"
G
And my popcorn squeaks with the question
Bb
Wonders why I'm not at home
F C Bb
Where you wait beside a silent telephone
F C Bb
Doodle circles within circles all alone
G
Have to stop myself from climbing
Bb
On the table full of empties to yell:
F Bb F
"Why, why can't I draw right up to what I want to say?"
Bb G
"Why can't I ever stop where I want to stay?"
Bb
I slide right through the day
F
Always throwing hack weight
F
Right off, no never never ever ever
C
Right off, no never never ever never
Am
Right off, no never never never ever
Bb
Right off, no never ever never ever
G
Now the senior bonspiel winners
Bb
Circa 1963
F C Bb
Are all staring, glaring dis-approvingly
F C Bb
From their frame in that old photograph at me
G
And I know you're out their waiting
Bb
For an answer I can't give you
so tell me,
F Bb F
"Why, why can't I draw right up to what I want to say?"
Bb G
"Why can't I ever stop where I want to stay?"
G
We roll right through our years
Bb
We rip right through our months
G Bb
We slide through our days
F (to end)
And always throwing hack weight
Right off, no never never ever ever
Right off, no never never ever never
Right off, no never ever never ever
Right off
