Lacrosse (album)

Lacrosse is the debut studio album by American indie rock band The Weakerthans. It was released on June 25, 1996, through G7 Welcoming Committee Records. The album showcases the band's early sound, characterized by introspective lyrics, melodic guitar work, and John K. Samson's distinctive vocals. While not as widely known as their later work, Lacrosse established The Weakerthans' foundation and introduced themes of social commentary, personal reflection, and Canadian identity that would become hallmarks of their discography. The album's title is seemingly unrelated to the sport of lacrosse, and the specific meaning or connection intended by the band is not widely documented.
