Exclaim is reporting that The Weakerthans frontman John K. Samson is set to release a series of 7 inches in honour of the roads of his home province of Manitoba. The first will be a three song set titled City Route 85. Germany’s Grand Hotel Van Cleef Records will release the disc on October 30th, with releases on Epitaph / Anti to be announced. Samson told Exclaim:

[The release is] the first part in a planned series of three or four seven-inches I want to write and record about different roads and highways in Manitoba… City Route 85 is otherwise known as Portage Avenue, one of the main streets in Winnipeg, and the songs are set in three different locations along the avenue. The next two releases will come out sometime in the [next] 18 months, I hope, and will be set north and southwest of Winnipeg.

The Weakerthans last released Reunion Tour in 2007. John’s last solo release was Little Pictures, a 1993 split CD with Painted Thin. It was re-released in 2006 on G7 Welcoming Committee Records.

Florida’s Poison The Well is the latest act to suffer from gear theft. The band was robbed when only two days into their ongoing tour with Billy Talent. The group commented:

So this morning we woke up at our delightful Marriot Courtyard hotel (priceline, get into it) and walked outside to get in the van to head to Chicago for our second show of the tour. Only problem, it isn’t there. Either someone is pulling some Merlin shit on us and just waiting for the perfect moment to unveil it and calm our shot nerves, or a talented scumbag stole our van and trailer with literally everything we own inside. Needless to say, we’re crushed. Our most beloved instruments are gone, and trust me, we’re gear nerds.

After a great deal of scrambling and deliberation, we found a way to stay on tour, after a few days off to get some gear and a rental van together. Having something like this happen is the worst thing that can happen to any band short of someone dying, and we’re incredibly stoked to finish this tour with Billy Talent and play every night doing what we love…

A benefit shirt is on sale to raise some funds for the group. The band is currently in support of their latest record The Tropic Rot.

UNRELATED: Looks like our evil nemesis the Muse flash ad has returned. Patience folks, we’re looking into it.
