THE WEAKLINGS

THE WEAKLINGS

SINCE 1994 THE WEAKLINGS HAVE MANAGED TO OFFEND THE SENSIBILITIES OF EVERYONE IN THEIR HOMETOWN OF PORTLAND, OREGON (AND WITH SEVERAL U.S. TOURS, MOST AMERICANS) WITH THEIR SICK BRAND OF ROCK-AND-ROLL. OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, THE WEAKLINGS HAVE EVOLVED FROM A LOUD, FAST AND DIRTY GARAGE-PUNK BAND (THINK: THE BASTARD SONS OF MOTORHEAD AND NEW BOMB TURKS) INTO SOMETHING SLEAZIER INDEED; ENCOMPASSING EQUAL PARTS AC/DC, THE STONES AND THE HEARTBREAKERS. THEIR DEDICATION TO THE ROAD HAS EARNED THEM LEGIONS OF FANS AS WELL AS A CONSTANT STRING OF LINE-UP CHANGES OVER THE YEARS; APPARENTLY "TOO MUCH ROCK-N-ROLL MADE THEM QUIT!" THEY'VE SUPPORTED ACTS LIKE THE DICTATORS, REAL KIDS, DEAD MOON, FEAR, MUDHONEY, POISON IDEA, MIKE WATT, THE HUMPERS AND COUNTLESS OTHERS BRAVE ENOUGH TO SHARE THE BILL, INCLUDING LOCAL ROCK LEGENDS...STARANTULA. MOST LIVE SHOWS CONSIST OF A BARRAGE OF BLOOD / VOMIT / PANTIES / AND ROCK-AND-FUCKING-ROLL! (ASSUMING THE BOYS ARE SOBER ENOUGH TO FIND THE STAGE.) BUT EVEN WITH ALL THE BLACKOUTS, HANGOVERS AND ONE-NIGHT-STANDS THE WEAKLINGS HAVE MANAGED TO RELEASE TWO FULL-LENGTH RECORDS, A DOZEN SINGLES AND AS MANY COMPILATION APPEARANCES AS MEMBERS BEHIND THE DRUM KIT. AND WITH THE UPCOMING RELEASE OF THEIR NEXT RECORD "ROCK-N-ROLL OWES ME" FOLLOWED BY YET ANOTHER U.S. TOUR THE WEAKLINGS MAY YET PROVE: THE WEAK SHALL INHERIT THE EARTH.
