Another band that released their debut album on the weewerk label was the six-piece alternative country group United Steel Workers of Montreal (from downtown Montreal, naturally). The band formed as a gathering of buskers that played together at Lucien-L'Allier metro station every Tuesday. After seven or eight months, they became a permanent band, booking gigs and recording original material. At formation, the band consisted of Gern F (vocals/acoustic guitar), Felicity Hamer (vocals/accordion), Sean "Gus" Beauchamp (vocals/acoustic guitar), Matt Watson (electric guitar), Roger Dawson (bass) and Sean Moore (banjo/mandolin). They released their debut album Broken Trucks and Bottles in 2005. The album featured guest appearances by David Macanulty and Andrew Horton also of the Montreal alt scene.
