If you're someone who hasn't yet listened to Propagandhi, then I'm sure you're about to have the time of your life as you discover their eclectic and celebrated discography.
Forming in Canada back in 1986, they've been a going concern for close to four decades now, though it wasn't until 1993 that they released their first album.
After a few years, they released 2001's 'Today's Empires, Tomorrow's Ashes,' which is often considered to be a seminal record in the world of political punk music. Personally, it's an album that I fell in love with thanks to its lyrical focus and high-energy intensity, and I've been a fan ever since.
But that's not the peak of their career, by far, because as the years have gone on, Propagandhi have occasionally returned with a new record, reminding us of just how amazing and important their work is.
This year, they returned with 'At Peace,' their eighth record and their first in as many years. Needless to say, it's a special moment for punk fans the world over when Propagandhi returns.
This week, I was lucky enough to have a wonderful chat with the group's vocalist and guitarist, the legendary Chris Hannah. For someone as ferocious as Chris is on the live stage, it's hard to imagine someone as reserved, thoughtful, and wonderful as a guest, and I'm truly grateful for him to join the podcast.
Anyway, have a listen to Propagandhi's 'At Peace,' cross your fingers for their live return, have a listen to our chat, and I’ll see you at the end of the episode for some general housekeeping.
