Weak13 is an English alternative rock band founded in Kidderminster, West Midlands, by Nick J. Townsend in 1999. After playing small underground gigs and festivals in the UK for a number of years, Weak13 began to work independently of the music scene around them and recorded material without major record label backing. After working with filmmaker Chris Stone, their song "Wake Down" won Best Music Video at the London Limelight Film & Arts Awards.
