Numerous sources are reporting that Winnipeg's own prairie rock heroes, The Weakerthans, have inked a deal with Anti- Records, a division of Epitaph Records. The Winnipeg Sun says "the band has been recording in Toronto, and are hoping for a summer release for their forthcoming disc." When we get more news, we'll pass it onto you.
Update: I got a call from Tonni at Epitaph telling me that the Winnipeg Sun is incorrect, and that the band has signed to Epitaph, not Anti-.
